@Peter Lee How fast are properties getting rented in that area?  

Fast Forward to the end of the process and Provision tells me the exact same strategy I was already using.

Here are my results after a year...RANKING: Local We Buy Houses & Sell Your House Fast keyword ranking #1COST: ~$5000 after 1 year (Hosting, Theme, Content, SEO, etc..)VISITORS: ~200 / mo (by month 12)LEADS: ~ 5 /mo (by month 12..didn't get my first till month 5)DEALS: 0Investor Carrot SiteI started with investor carrot back when the sites where about half the price they are now.  

Don't make reference to where you got their name nor tie it to any specific axpcvount status: "We got your name from a list provider who rents/sells names of people who are going down the tubes really fast, and I was wondering..."

If it continues, I would think seriously about not renewing the lease, or if month to month, think about wrapping it up at the best time for you (eg when your market is strongest, so you can fill it fast)....you'll get the same amount of rent from a better rule following tenant with less stress (paying well is just part of the good tenant equation, there is also a behavior component in terms of the rules and communicating, and they seem to have issues there ).......

So as soon as I get one who can qualify, I'm not stopping to wait and hope someone better comes along.In fact, if I can't get them processed fast enough, they will often take another unit and no longer want mine when I call to tell them they have been accepted.

I am suprised nobody mentioned the tax savings becase when you do your own repairs there are none and at 35 % it can add up pretty fast

They will file bankruptcy and become very hard to collect very fast.

Tenants love dropping their rent off and when running late getting it in fast.

Once you hit (I think) $150k AGI per year, you can start kissing part of your mortgage deduction goodbye and if you get into AMT annually like I do, then your mortgage deduction benefit really fades fast.2.
