What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

Some items to consider are accessible path of travel (gravel is not going to cut it), potential elevator, potential historical preservation involvement, and the biggest issue is if a business can garner enough clients to cover the cost and still make a living. 

We try and make the process as simple as possible and do what is most convenient for our clients. 

Parole boards and non profit organizations are looking for landlords to refer clients.

I have a client who recently moved to the Austin, TX area and still needs to sell his properties in Ft.

His fiduciary duty is to his client, not you.

I've in the past had clients fly into town for a weekend and allow me to put them in my car and give them a tour of the city - that's where you'll learn the most.

If it is in the "chunky middle" of the bellcurve price-wise and quality-wise then you could expect to have a low vacancy, but my clients who operate on the top or bottom of the bellcurve in terms of price OR quality often have tenants who average 10-11 months of the year. 

You have interesting goals - in a way similar to what I do currently (manage our SFR portfolio, rehab new acquisitions, GC for clients, build new for retail and working as an agent) - what I am finding is that I have too much going on and need to focus.After working in corporate for almost 20 years I am enjoying the freedom to start whatever project I find interesting if it makes sense and money.

Once they have a listing they are marketing this listing via phone/email to only their clients.
