And my dad lives in Texas, and insists that I DO NOT “move twice” and instead should just move straight down to Texas (I have NOT EVEN CONSIDERED telling him that instead of renting in PA, I am planning on buying a house before I move then rent it out - he would have a heart attack, he really doesn’t understand).What should I do?

@Douglas Spence Thank you for the warm welcome Sir!

Go somewhere warm this spring. 

For example, they can "train" a needy client by setting expectations without getting feelings hurt and thus continuing to win that client's business on future deals.preferably they know your area very well and know comps by heart.

I'm a local resident in Baltimore and right in the heart of a beautiful neighborhood of Mt.

@Dmitriy Fomichenko - Thanks for the warm welcome! 

Thank you, brother for the warm welcome. 

@Axel MeierhoeferI get and half heartedly agree on the coming inflation.

Thank you for the warm introduction and well wishes @Kevin Zolea and @Shawn Mcenteer!

I find that using warm soft flattering colors that I use in my own home work well for me to attract a higher-end tenant.
