I tell everyone landlord do not care what kind of recreational stuff they smoke so long as refrained inside the house.

We focus on Florida and work with a number of international investors since we are experiencing a ton of growth here.

@Carlos Cuervo the bank would charge you a rate according to their internal guidelines. 

It's been great hearing other stories from folks outside of real estate, and I find that many of their ideas are still relevant to me in my own entrepreneurial endeavors even though they're doing stuff I have no interest in like reselling on eBay or running online retail stores. 

Do not want to complicate stuff for such a small activity.

More commonly, if we're showing a house where the owner is open to leaving some stuff behind, we'll mention those items specifically to prospective tenants, almost as a "bonus", if they want it. 

I always do what is the right thing to do and not cheap out on stuff that needs to be fixed, regardless of the cost.

The other thing that I would mention is that every single brokerage that touts training basically teaches you the same stuff...call friends and family, call FSBOs (for sale by owner), and expired leads, etc.

This stuff is exciting!

But I just want to start digging in and meeting the people in my area that can actually lead to deals rather than the negative rate of return stuff that makes its way to loopnet.
