I wasn't even mad. 

Maybe you got mad because he mentioned maybe you inherited some money, but he could have made an honest mistake. 

I believe I know why they are doing it.One of the greatest frustrations with free rental websites is zombie listings: The landlord has already filled the vacancy, but because posting is free, they never bother to take down the ad.By charging a nominal weekly fee, Zillow recruits landlords to help maintain a very large and constantly changing rental database.I'm not mad at them.

But while I can't be mad at myself for being so disciplined about paying down my loans that I'm now only looking at 9K left to finish off, I am slightly irritated that it took me that long to realize I could be MAKING more of a return on the money I was handing over to the banks.

What are the key drivers in being able to rent that property in short order?

Contractors/Handymen in order to get it rented she has to fix the place up the business manager showed me around and the place is basically gutted and there's a big hole in the wall where a drunk driver hit the place. both the business manager and owner live about 30 minutes away

Even if you're literate in the numbers, and your development yield shakes out to 7-8% on paper in a supply constrained market with strong demand drivers for your product - you still need the ability to execute.

You can be a nuisance too and let a tenant know that their behavior is causing problems, not in a mad way but in a matter of fact way.  

It probably wouldn't have made them so mad, but we had been trying to get him to cut the tree down for over a year and he simply didn't have the money.Client purchased a tenanted duplex.

@Matthew Paul what is gone the tree, the back window of the truck, your driver's license, the beer or all of the above?
