I have a $10k reno budget to add laminate when the tenants move out and create the third bedroom in the coach house.The fifth one had a huge updated upper unit but the lower is what they call a "Polish Flat" where the bottom of the window sills are right at grade and cause water to constantly come in.

There is already a level of comfort and usually they know to an certain extent what each other wants.Last on my list is syndications where they want long close times and it's not  a blind pool and they have to raise the money and some buyer might drop out at the last second.I have sheets and a screening process for my buyers.

Be careful how you screen.

Easy stuff like water heater change outs should be a minimum number of billable hours (or flat rate) for a regular customer.  

I lived in Atlanta our winter are some what similar. have you consider on making your property  energy efficient not zero energy efficient but small percentage, Wrapping the boiler may help ,also suggest to your future tenants to get on  a flat rate with their utility company, Yeah they may pay more during the off peak seasons but at list they'll be able to budget, and you'll be able to market your rental unit as being energy efficient.

It can take more effort than people realize to get properties rent-ready, contract terms in place, showings/screenings, etc.

I can open up the BP app but when I click on a topic, the program closes and I am directed back to my phone's home screen.

If I don't have any interest I will flat out tell them I'm not interested anymore.

@Rusty Thompson commission is usually 3% per deal every now and then you find a listing with a flat rate amount for the buyer's agent and that's usually between $500-$1500.

Do you have multiple investment mortgages already, that is the only reason I would think they would screen you further?
