(im not a realtor this is from a buyer and investor prospective)how do you make it stand outTAKE GOOD pictures.Give detailed description of home in text.Make your fliers stand out, don't just print copies of the MLS listing.

I try to solve problems before they become problems by screening prospective tenants before giving them the key.

We purchased a list of people in our area that have acted as private lenders recently, and before I send them our inquiry letters (introducing them to us so that we can perhaps meet for lunch to meet), I have a question...When sending mailers out to absentee owners of single family residence (to see if they want to sell), I was taught to make the envelope look like a personal invitation to a birthday party or something, to get them to open it.For a letter to a prospective private lender, though, what approach would is best, relatively speaking?

This is why sellers love newbies so much as they hope they will miss these important factors.Do not let this experience deter you but learn from it.

Prospective tenants always mention how much they liked to see the floor plan in the ad.

Michelle L do you feel like some prospective tenants get turned off by the amount of info you ask for on the app OR the intro paragraph about income, employment, deposits and rent payment etc?

One prospective tenant had just received her first voucher....and she had applied back in 2005.

So, a little off-topic, but may I ask where these prospective developments may take place ?

By 8 months the vast majority of individuals have stopped mailing to the prospect completely.

(Income, Evictions, References etc) I also rely on my gut feeling..When I meet the prospective tenants I rely on non verbal cues such as vibe, how well they maintain eye contact, get a sense if they are trying to dodge a question.
