Something like (warning, it's cheeky and Austin, TX centric):⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - A guest so smooth, they must have grooved in from a blues bar on Sixth Street.⭐⭐⭐⭐ - A fine guest with a touch of Austin quirkiness.⭐⭐⭐ - Decent guest, but we had a few "weird and wild" moments. ⭐⭐ - A guest who made me wonder if they brought their own "weirdness meter." ⭐ - Hosting this guest was like trying to find a quiet corner on Sixth Street during SXSW.There are actually a couple more sentences after each 1 liner for each star, but I removed that for brevity here.

This question has came up a number of times, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to start an all-inclusive thread on the topic.Here are the sources that I use to obtain the rental comps:1. http://www.craigslist.org - click on "apt/housing" under "housing" and enter zip code in the search bar on the top.

Pink Cadillac and all with a buch of scally waggs in the back seat.

I haven't had any major complaints this year about heat (I pay for it in my big pink apartment) but I'd really like to switch over to BBE).Mike is right, after doing research BBE is by far the BEST for rentals as long as the electric service can support it.I took Mike's advice and bought some big DIY books, and running new wire for the units doesn't seem to be hard at all (It seemed much harder to me to begin with).

Open Letter helps investors easily stand out in comparison to the typical outdated yellow letters and pink notice postcards!

For management, I use and recommend Russ Breckenridge with Pink Realty and Jesse Scott with Muldoon's. 

While bandit signs are a cheap and easy way to advertise, they must be done in a tasteful way, respecting the right of others.The complaint I called in, the person used large index type cards, 7x10 in size, colored pink nailed on every utility pole in the neighborhood.

Another marketing trick is making potential guests feel like they can see themselves at your property.....The Pink Flamingo and Cool TropicalThe backyard is beautiful, and I would love to hang out there!

Then once you become a land baron, 1031 everything into an apartment building;) Good luck and remember we are here to help!
