Thuy, Personally it does not bother me.

Another small repair that tenants figure they don't have to bother me was a 3rd floor tenant, noticed some leaks where the toilet meets the floor.

This bothers my wife a lot but doesn't bother me.

Tenants are great and typically want the land to be left alone so they do not bother me with the little things. 

Its more like the stock broker approach they get called by commercial brokers I doubt any of them would bother with direct mail. 

So I guess my advice is don't hamper your bookings by not accepting those folks that don't have reviews.The other reality in that market, is once you get through summer you will be on auto-pilot and all the stuff that makes you nervous now won't bother you so much then.

Don't really want to bother with canning - anyone have good results from just pureeing and freezing or some such simple thing?

Here in PA they have as much as nine months after the sheriff sale purchase to recover their property which is why I don't bother with them.

Most wealthy folks like to buy high rise condos for all or most cash and sit on them (the wealthier ones don't even bother to rent them out ;) you have good security in a high rise, which is an advantage for a remote investor.Otherwise, be careful if you are taking on a more active project, or one with existing tenants.

When in reason of course.I would ask the seller, if they would be ok with you contacting the tenants directly for showings if the seller seems bothered by it.
