So, a little off-topic, but may I ask where these prospective developments may take place ?

By 8 months the vast majority of individuals have stopped mailing to the prospect completely.

(Income, Evictions, References etc) I also rely on my gut feeling..When I meet the prospective tenants I rely on non verbal cues such as vibe, how well they maintain eye contact, get a sense if they are trying to dodge a question.

Don't Stop Advertising Because You Have a Prospect Some landlords stop advertising when someone arranges a meeting to look at the property.

If there is no harm to a prospective buyer you do not neccesarily have to disclose, but generally my opinion is that disclosure is better.

We accept applications throughout the viewing windows and up until a set date following the final viewing {we communicate this date to all prospective tenants}.

Above all else its more important that you commit to mailing these prospects consistently.

Or is it at the end of the month when the property is still empty and the prospect of another month having to cover the expenses themselves is looming?

I am trying to learn what to look for in the presentation of a house and what to specifically ask about prospective houses.

There are negative, slower appreciation imo, resale value is a challenge because they don't go FHA and prospective buyers who can go conventional can afford a better place (probably).
