I'd love to take a quick gauge to see who may be interested in doing local meet-up of lenders, agents, etc. in the Scottsdale/Arcadia area. 

Also you need to handle other people's problems very well and have grace under stress and pressure.

It would be good for you to gauge the inventory as well as know what price points are demanded on the market so you know the next steps to proceed. 

Plus owners often pressure PM's to get them a Tenant fast.I'm trying to strike that right balance. 

The rent to price ratio is simply a quick way of gauging the profitability of a property, however it does not clearly describe the risk profile of an investment.

Not only does that complicate the lease a lot, but it also reduces the peer pressure element if one of them wants to go somewhere else.Second, double check your location to see if you can charge more than 1 month's rent as a security deposit and under what situations. 

I won't pressure them if the deal doesn't make sense for them, because I know them and their success matters to me. 

Gauge how much experience they have working with investors.

It eats into your monthly cash flow and it puts downward pressure on your asset value.

If you are selling this property as an investment, any buyer is going to want to see historical financials, a copy of the lease, and likely financial info on the tenant to gauge the level of risk the tenant itself adds to the income stream.
