He did, though, use the stamped envelope I brought him and the rent arrived without issue.

Schedule the handyman to arrive 2 days after you land.

If both arrive the same day, cash either, return the other.

The way I look at it is, it doesn't matter who plans and works for the party ahead of time -- all that matter is that I and my family get to attend the party when the time arrives. 

Based on my due diligence and looking at what other houses in similar neighborhoods are renting for, and considering the ideal location and proximity to good schools and the best shopping are in town, that's the figure I arrived at.Hoping for a cash sale and flipping it at 150k seems a little risky to me.

We ask the tenants beforehand if that is a problem and if so we can switch out the scent or style before they arrive.

The rumored financial stress from forebearance rolling off never arrived (last year) and I'm not seeing anyone selling who's behind on payments.  

What road do you think would help me arrive to my destination?

I am curious how they arrived at the figures when I provided each the same financial information.

Just call the list and say "SHOW ME THE MONEY" and in 97 seconds a check will arrive in the mail, delivered by special profit-ferries.
