I've heard prospective tenants say "I'm looking anywhere but San Jacinto."   

We took down a bunch of leads with Deal Machine to organize our prospects.

Amenities as an insurance. 2x1's and backyards and especially a/c's will always have a healthier pool of prospects.

I got calls from prospecting realtors for a year or so afterwards. 

I am tired driving down and waiting for prospective tenant who just not gonna show up because they realized that the bridge is that bad.

I've been researching some properties I'm interested in and found that one of them has a last sold price of $0 over 10 years ago. I found this using the counties tax lot info. I'm wondering what some reasons for this ...

@James Feely make sure you tell prospective tenants to NOT do the checks.

I've been considering selling the commercial property but I was hoping to get a year of good STR returns post Covid so I could show just how valuable to property is to a prospective buyer before putting it on the market.

Be persistent and consistent with your prospecting and marketing and never give up.

I'd put a mechanical lockbox on, and gave prospective tenants call me when they got to the house, and then when they were locking up.
