You're going to want to stand out since your market is competitive, but don't be deterred from taking action and sticking to it because of the competition.

You can use these as reference with your checklist for move out. 7) Create a welcome fler or info sheet about the area as well as points of interest, schools, utility and available services in area for prospective tenants.Good luck and congratulations on new purchase!

In the end you will need to set as high a price as a few prospects can afford.  

So I'm picking out prospects from the local CAD based on my trips through the neighborhood looking for run-down, possibly vacant homes and just doing manual searches for properties with absentee owners with potentially higher equity based on last purchase date and comps.

I would like middle range DURABLE materials since it's in a nice doorman building (ie I'm personally fine with formica, but prospective tenant may want granite counter-tops given the building's contemporary amenities)...Also, regarding countertops, I don't really follow what's new.. is GRANITE still the best ROI option for something nice but DURABLE (I don't want to replace over the years)?

It's just that first prospective tenant rattled me a bit.

I will be trying to seek out a prospective mentor and I hope this year to find ways to help that person and develop a good relationship with them.

The Purchaser’s notice must include a copy of the loan application, proof of the application date, and a copy of the denial letter from the prospective lender.

Are you having problems getting your phone to ring with prospects?

So tell any prospective buyer who visits the property that the ceiling will be painted if requested.
