I've had a mix of business professionals, travel nurses, and grad students, and most are pretty clean and respectful of shared spaces.One of the important things is to draft a clear rental agreement or house manual for people to follow.

Also, when people look at your company, you want them to see that you are active and respectful when you deal with clients. 

.- Finally a live deal analysis conducted by a different attendee every month so we can learn from each others methods.Whilst the meet up will be hosted by me (a Realtor) & a local lender these meetings aren't intended to be a sales pitch for our respective services, they are intended to be a consistent time and place for local, like minded people to get together and talk real estate.Let me know your thoughts below in terms of whether you're interested in a monthly event like this and also what format you'd like for it to take.

If anything the past few months have solidified my desire to eventually start my own business a few years down the road.A long story kept somewhat still long, I am at a crossroad with respect to what my next steps should be.

When I show the property to potential tenants I'm extremely clear that I expect to be paid on the 1st, that they are not to leave dishes out, and that they need to be quiet and respectful of everyone else at night.

The truck isn't magic, isn't special, won't improve your relationships, won't make people who matter respect you. 

Hey @Robert Carroll I am a local realtor here in Sacramento & can assist you to find something with respect to your ROI and cash flow!

Learning to respect our time and setting that expectation up front with potential clients is a must.

@Adam Dylik  I can respect that your grandmother does not want to sign off on a cash out refinance of the property, but how is cross collateralizing and putting a lien on the property any different than taking the money out? 

In general respect your investor's money, be transparent, and be in control of the project.
