The question should be: have you ever been pulled for speeding?

These cities tend to command quality tenants, and they have great schools.

I shopped for quotes from about 5 vendors and they gave me the best quote (thousands less than all the others) and even though installation did not happen for 2.5 months due to material shortage etc that was going on at that time, I am really happy with the work done and the quality of the windows.

And that may sound like a lot but the conversion rates are in the single digits, so you must have a massive net reaching tons of people, repetitively, and have a great lead flow system, that's how you lease a property to a decent tenant quality, at a good price, in short time.

These cities tend to command quality tenants, and they have great schools.

For example your nightly rates, leveraging cleaning fees as secondary cash flow, overall guest experience, quality/quantity of photos, and property condition.

Each has their own unique qualities but all-in-all they are pretty standard midwestern markets.

Just like many of you, my preference when purchasing a new property is for it to be vacant, so that my property manager can vet quality tenants vs the roll-of-the-dice that comes with inherited tenants.That said, where I primarily invest—Detroit, MI—inherited tenants are pretty commonplace in 1 to 4-unit properties, and sometimes those deals are just too good to pass up. 

Okay, so you met him, you have no idea about the quality of his work? 

The rental market is strong because there aren't enough quality homes for buyers to purchase and many who migrate here for work are relocated with short notice so they don't have a year to wait on building something new.
