Slightly more were concerned about lack of money, I found an interesting response from MARK.

I agree with Mark Yuschak that a difference of 452SF is significant and should have been noticed during your walk thru.

Hey Mark, I believe they are getting this value from a BPO conducted by a real estate agent.

To both Scott and Mark, the feedback is appreciated.

NC Mark is on the money about doing a better job of prequalifying the potential tenants before the first phone call is over.We use a 3-4+ times rent income verification question, depending on family member numbers, on the first call and verify they have the money for any and all required deposits before we set-up a showing.

By this time next year we may hit the 100,000 mark.

But I know what you meant, so barring all of the above aspects, I think Mark makes a good point, REITs might give you the long term returns without much of the hands on management.

So, none of the showings are a waste of time, they're just one more check mark on that list to a good tenant.I generally only show once a week.
