Hi @Anna Urbina, there are lots of reasons a person may pick a city: where they have family, where they grew up or went to school, where they like to vacation (tax deduction), or strictly on the data.

More strict and insistent on the punch list for the contractor Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Some people are strictly talking 2-4 or 4-10 units.

So to summarize, I would require one year lease term, but I would have very strict qualification standards. 

You have to know where to look and make offers somewhat routinely.
