Last time I ran into you and @Siddharth Shastri I remember hearing about a large apartment plex that you bought down in Arkansas.

Suspect the best rural tenants are old and rent due to lack of good condos, think pre nursing home ranch style apartments, ideally with garages. 

I bought a duplex in Austin last October (remotely) and the experience wasn't ideal. 

She suddenly remembered wires that she had forgotten for her TV (she had 2x 5" holes cut out of the feature wall to hide her cables, without asking) so it was easier to have her reputable painter guy pop in and cover up the holes and remove her last items without me having to see her again.My fault for not just getting it done myself I suppose but she is the sort of tenant that uses Court Action in seemingly every sentence and was seen taking pictures of everything when she left and even took a picture of her notice taped to my front door so I was trying to minimize any court action by at least keeping her in the loop of all the damage so I could get her replies by text to use if she decided to challenge my return deposit amount.She did admit to the burns in the carpet (stupidly putting hot coals from the fire in a plastic home depot bucket) and argued that it wasn't cat urine but vomit as her cat had cancer (but obviously didn't think to clean them or have them professionally cleaned).  

Thanks Wayne, I’m sure I speak for Nick when I say “you’ve been real helpful.‘’Nick, I deal with some horrible HOA here in Vegas but that’s a new one on me, $2,000 seems high for such a short period of time.

In that value prop, you are conveying the sense of urgency that your ideal visitor should show.

Trust, but verify.Also remember that tenants can show up squeaky clean on paper and still be awful.

And remember the rehabbed/ buyer pays closing costs!

Also yes, grandmas and grandpas are the biggest growing demographic on facebook as well as your ideal seller on this platform. 

Remember, you are the boss and this is your project and your money.
