Especially if you are living there, I would put a little more focus on a quality tenant than the timing by day..

Focus more on providing quality below market properties and selling them will be easy!!!

I've also run into realtors giving me comps that were similar based on # of beds and baths but when I analyzed those comps more they weren't in the same quality neighborhood and some "attached" homes etc and weren't quite the same as what I was looking at.  

The voice-mails are very low in quality, but the email inquiries have been pretty good.

I agree, it would depend on the type of property you manage, lower quality may require a lot of time involvment, may not be worth it.

@Jeremy Davis you're just a Stone's throw away.I worry about the discrimination aspect, however my plan/goal is to create transparent guidelines for our judging criteria that will help insure quality tenants (kind of leaning towards a points based system).

Plus the word doesn't contribute to positive brand identification on the retail buyer side, especially for someone with intent to create a quality product.

Again, maybe just luck because of the type and quality of paper HSBC is dealing with.For me the sub2 and discounted payoff is just another possible tool.

We have a good quality blue carpet in the home currently and are trying to decide whether to keep it, replace it with a more neutral color or replace with some form of wood flooring, laminate flooring or tile flooring throughout.

The problems that you'll have and need to learn how to resolve will help you learn to either like the crappy tenant business and look for more, similar properties, or buy properties in better areas attracting a higher quality tenant, or become a note investor.
