He is right, tenants do get a little spooked at a property sale as they do not understand the biz we are in, but with effective communication and relationship building with the tenant through excellent customer service would certainly minimize that or eliminate it all together.

this is a business not a cash flow rental play... you have nothing in there for house keeping. etc.and  if your going to keep repeat families you are going to need excellent customer service.

The Carolina Crew is excellent!

You'll have to go through at least 10 before you find a couple that are worth consideration.Advertising your search on biggerpockets is an excellent idea and I'm sure you'll get some good feedback.

When rolling insulation batts between the floor joists of the finished upstairs space and a cold unfinished space, I would expect to see a vapor barrier on the side that is exposed to a crawl space or an unfinished cold basement.

There are dumps in good areas that can be excellent rentals you can use in the medium to long term but then liquidate when the consumer market is hot.

Is There Really Such a Thing as an Excellent Tenant?

The other side of the coin is that if you have found ideal tenants you should provide excellent customer service as a way of keeping them in place and just doing good business. 

We only have a house or two, we say.And just because we got away with not having a professional layout when we got the mortgage for our first rental or even second rental, we think it's okay just to present a mortgage company, bank or hard money lender, just some figures written down on a piece of paper or on an Excel Spread Sheet.

@John CasmonThat is an excellent plan!
