If I didn't have a landscaping company and trucks and tools I would rent for sure.

Funny, i just told my VA i want her to post my deals on Postlets and FB, also wanna use Ebay for some land deals.She knows how to target certain demographics on Facebook, which i wanna test for finding sellers as well.Good job man, i don't know if i would have to guts to risk that earnest money, but you pulled it off!!

Backyard are "very" important in this demographic!

@Mark Robertson where do you get the demographic split?

In SFR's, the tenant usually pays for all expenses not covered in property taxes and homeowners insurance, while the landlord usually pays for water, landscaping, trash, and sometimes gas and electric, which increases the overhead by a large sum.

Obviously, a lot of it depends on the demographic you rent to as you say.

I agree that you probably aren't going to put your 3 kids in a 200 square foot house - but there are tons of people that don't fit that demographic.
