I'd say go in person to the PO when you mail, so you can get a receipt...that shows when you mailed in a reasonable way....I notice when you have a nice file when you go to the eviction hearing your chances of winning seem better if the tenant shows up...because chances are they will not be prepared. 

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

Be prepared to work with them on a plan to move.You can make the argument the cost of moving is more than the cost of the increase.

Any agent who believes that providing a completeproof of funds letter, which they don’t even prepare, is jumping through hoops is simply lazy.

You have 3 tests to meet in 2024, all 3 of them.1.

My recommendation is also to do a plumbing test while piers are dug up. 

Rent it cheaper for 4-6 months to get through the winter, then rent it for a higher price or sell it in the spring.I recommend selling because you don't have a good property manager and the market is obviously not strong there.Thanks @Nathan GesnerI dropped the price from $2100 to $1975 but it’s not moving the needle too much.I am prepared to go lower , however , worried about what kind of tenants we’ll get at a very low rent like $1700 or $1600…4 years ago we rented for $1400 ( to friends) then we went up to $1500 for next tenant, then  $2400 for the last tenants ( we did some remodeling on property to justify that last rent ) Hard to go back down to those lower #’s but not getting qualified bites at all now that we are heading into winter ( as you pointed out )..been at $1975 for three days now ..

I know this is more of an investing forum, but I figured I'd reach out and see if members with an investing background would provide advice.We're preparing to purchase a vacation property in North Myrtle Beach.

Best bet is talk to wholesalers and have a real good agent that can dig properties out, and be prepared to buy on spot in good locations and anything else be a tough cookie.

I'm new to the area, so testing fix/flip market.
