You could play it up and further demonstrate your level of seriousness by saying something like: "This offer is based on our assumption that the property contains a mix of 1 and 2 bedroom units totaling 16 rentable units, along with our initial research of publicly available information."

Also, do your homework and make sure tenants qualify...use free background check services like mycase.in.gov (what I use in Indiana).

But I guess I have to buy his product/service to learn how it works.

Fidelity Creditor Service has offered to attempt to collection debt on a 50% contingency fee.   

I've received a request to provide professional pest control service from tenant to help eliminate pest issue at the rental property. 

I am no expert, but what I do not see in San Diego is how we get from the present extremely low inventory levels (especially on the coast and the lower priced $800k and below market) to an excess inventory level which I believe would have to be a precursor to any significant price drop.

@Doron NissimNot sure what you're referring to when you say Fannie Mae stopped doing high level price reductions.

It may level of fin the exit couple of years, but surely a great market right now.

In exchange for the service, the investors pay these scouts a fee.

By the time you finish reading through that you should have some better answers to your questions, along with new questions to push you even further to the next level. :-)I'm personally in the market for buy and hold.
