The only problem I have with mortgages, is unless I drop a seriously large down, there is very little profit (1-300 a month if you're lucky) since Vegas rental prices are rather low compared to most states.

Also, try a mailing without a fridge magnet and see if the response rate drops or not.

That’s what I hear a lot when I talk to other landlords, they say “just fix things quickly or drop rent” but like you’re saying, fixing things fast is part of it, dropping rent isn’t going to, but for a tenant that is cooperative, pays on time, treats things like their own; to me it’s worth a couple bucks in a gift card and they also feel that gratification because The gift card shows recognition

Owner was shocked but didn’t have a leg to stand on after dropping the ball herself.

Could the housing market drop like it did in 2008 and I loose that 30%, yes. 

The bank countered by dropping the price by the difference of the credit.

Just a thought, and possible strategy if dropping 10% on a down payment is difficult for someone.

You can always refinance a fixed if rates drop a lot.On another note did you get a good deal on the purchase or are you counting on appreciation? 

No rain, but it drops the temp to 92F so back to work. 

Just some hints to see what their motivation level is: have there been ANY price drops in the past 200 days or however many days it's been on the market?
