Quality products (homes) = Quality rentersA clean well updated home or apartment is going to attract clean reliable renters.

Now that I'm building a local reputation for reliability and competence in this system I am getting return clients and word of mouth referrals.

IMO, there's no repeated patterns in your chart to make any kind of reliable prediction.   

I'm finding many great markets but feel limited to ones with established and reliable TK providers.

Hi John,Philadelphia is a great market to get into the Multi Family Market, very reliable rents, management companies that know the market, etc.

I'll be discussing a lease renewal for a rental property soon and I'm looking for some reliable evidence of what the property could command on the open market.

If you appreciate stability and reliability, the PM company should be paid more when a tenant stays on for another year, and less when a tenant vacates.

My wife and I are actively looking for a fix and flip and need recommendations for reliable, honest, full time contractors!! 

Honestly, I'd be nervous about investing in a 400k property at all if that 400k is close to your entire investable assets, unless that is a relatively small part of your net worth and/or you have a reliable high income stream from other sources.

Our goals are 1) provide safe and reliable housing for our daughter for at least the next 4 years (She's one year into a 5 year sequence.) 2) maximize tax deductions/paper losses 3) in the long run, make some profit and/or reduce the expenses we would have otherwise incurred for housing for our daughter (especially after considering taxes).
