I guess my problem with being too up front about seeing their place is that I don't feel like I'm in a position of power right now to decline people since it's hard enough to find people that I want to even get to that point in the application process in the first place, but I have to snap out of that mindset and have to instead come from a place where I make them believe that I have a lot of other applicants and that it's my standard policy and it's something they'll have to go through if they want my place.....ESPECIALLY if I decide to only take 1st & security from them rather than 1st/last/security.Thanks again!

I am looking to:- Build-to-rent 5 new construction duplexes, adding $500,000+ in equity capture and $2,500+ monthly in positive cash flow to my portfolio.- Build-to-sell 7 new construction homes or duplexes, generating $500,000 plus in revenue for my development company.- Write and publish 52+ high-quality articles on adding the build-to-rent and build-to-sell business models to your real estate investment tool belt.Are you doing all of these in San Antonio?

I'm probably another year or so before I'm in a position to leave my job, but that is my end game.
