In Kona, there are no direct competitors to our property's scale and offerings.

I’m personally happier entering into longer leases, even though they purport to offer premiums over market rents.

If instead the house could be rented now with minimal work, you might consider offering it as a lease-purchase.

Nice of you to offer them some help!

However, run the numbers, you want to offer fair prices.

I answered this with indicating that I would like to speak with someone to learn more about their program and what they had to offer.

She has now sent me a letter threatening me with a lawsuit or I accept her "reasonable" offer of a 30% reduction in rent.

I would think they would first look at the price and location, and then what it offers (value for money).I am saying those because I am currently looking at properties either in Windsor Hills or outside, but something I can pay very low HOA fees, to increase my ROI.

The products offered will always vary and part of being a broker is knowing the borrower's scenarios and our lenders to know where the pieces fit best. 

Facebook Marketplace and Facebook Groups is probably a good start.Zillow now offers posted rentals by the room, but not sure who is looking there.In terms of running background and credit check, I like mysmartmove.com.
