I'd exercise option 2 depending on applicant's credit score.I came across the same dilemma when I was trying to fill up a rental property late last year.

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where you think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then only then pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

Driving for dollars physically or virtually is a great way to identify distressed properties and potentially motivated sellers on a budget.

Once again, this is an exercise that I am trying to wean down worthwhile/important parameters to use not necessarily to use all these on every deal.

MAREI is virtual, not in a physical location, but we meet every 2nd Tuesday for our main meeting, every Friday at 8:45 am for networking and some of our members host in-person events. 

It is not a real estate deal but physical inventory from a prominent and well known consumer goods retailer. 

If you don't put a contingency on the deal, the buyer keeps your EM if you don't close, assuming there are no other contingencies you can exercise.

The air is cleaner, crime is lower, and I am still within a good commuting distance of my job downtown, for when I need to return physically to the workplace.

Business is a collection of other fields of study, economics, anthropology, psychology, math, biology, physics, ect.

Because of that investors here in general are focusing on getting more bang for their buck with multi-family properties with higher rent potential.It's a pretty basic explanation, but it seems like we're in a textbook economics supply and demand exercise.
