I'm absolutely not interested in leasing fast at all and I'm extremely picky about tenants and I do things like require a large security deposit (even for section 8 renters, I have three of them and love them), don't supply appliances, take my time doing background checks and arranging multiple calls/meetings with potential tenants. 

@Chris Johansen I believe the part you're missing is you are not "simply loaning him money" under the new iteration of your partnership arrangement.

I could have bought it and arranged to upgrade the panel on Day 1 after we closed but I didn’t feel good enough about taking the risk on a $280,000 deal in the event there was a problem and I had to try to make a claim prior to the repair.

Make sure your listing is well optimized you can also do a little tweaking to your listing daily to get on the algorithm, make sure your photos are eye catching and well arranged, you can send out your link to friends and families and ask them to add it to their wishlist.In terms of pricing you always want to start low to get some bookings and ratings then slowly increase your price.I wish you the best in your business.

Because they got a cute arrangement that wasn't understood on both sides, it's just a waste of time. 

"If you don't believe you can clean up after yourself this isn't the living arrangement for you"!

I don't like this arrangement that she is in another state but paying rent for her son probably because her son is not going to be qualified to get an apartment.

Apparently the water wasn't shut off at utility, and the HOA seemed confident we can turn the water on for an inspection, so it is only a matter of de-winterizing which my agent has now arranged on my behalf.

Bob arranges the money for Joe, so the bank is short again even though Bob could have paid more on the debt.

They should become like current-day travel agents: far fewer than pre-Priceline, but well-compensated for arranging high-dollar, complex trips.
