They're fine paying an extra deposit and extra pet fee.

Get with some local investors to and boots on the ground to get some solid advice.  

Agreed mate,43606 is mostly rough and 43610 and 43620 is hit/miss.Put In Bay has a total of 7 houses hahaBowling Green quite expensive and only 1 target tenant and they are students...Online stats/demographics are one thing, real life and on-ground experience is another.As an investor you are limited if your decisions are based on solely online research.Had an investor that bought 6 properties from us ages ago and was using some weird online algorithm and plugging every deal I sent him through RentFax (I easily send 30 or so deals for consideration).I advised against this strategy but it is what it is.Didn't work out for him unfortunately and he decided to sell.Maybe I should get him to post a thread and throw us under the bus.It's always our fault, right?

i  would say househacking in expensive area is the best strategy.I got all tenants paying my mortgage , i never met them and they made the house more secured as well because there's always people in the house. 

He says he doesn't have the money to pay the rent and to get a new place.

Sales rep who finds the buyer and get's the down payment to secure the sale gets 20% of the fee.I tried this model when hiring reps and realized it didn't work since I was paying for all the overhead, supplying leads (like you) and the reps were not staying on top of the lead calls.

When using the seller concessions, there is no impact to your rates and the seller pays for your closing costs. 

It's what other are willing to pay but not a reflection of what you can.

Depending on different factors, primarily lot size and location, we have even been paying $1m+ for houses to tear down in Seattle and $2m+ in the Eastside . 

I will hire out a lawn service for mowing  ,but how do I go about  paying the water bill, not able to figure this out .
