I have a different prospective on branding.

My process:Credit check, criminal check, social security verification, former Landlord verification, employment verification, look in prospect’s car, I make the calls and fax the necessary verification paperwork, spend lots of time talking to the new prospect.

I'd like to avoid that kind of outcome this time.I'm interested to learn about the process and paperwork--in California.

Maybe your competitors are doing a better job at communicating what makes them different and better.You said you’re working with partners – have them do a mental exercise where they put themselves in the position of a prospective tenant and another exercise as a current tenant.

I will go out on a limb and say that almost every experienced full-time investor will tell you that vetting a large number of properties and making strong, targeted, high percentage offers on the top prospects will net you far more quality properties in the long run (and the short run too, come to think of it). 

An open vibrant office of like minded individuals can have incredible outcomes.

Coming from a prospective buyer stand point in CT, I would never buy a crawl space home over a basement home.

If the tenant is still living there, I'm wondering if having the tenant still in the house might itself discourage prospects from buying - e.g. if I have not given tenant their notice yet, then the prospect would have to wait 45 days to move in.

The best outcome is the corp lease renews and I get more money.

If job prospects are good, prices go up.
