We can get too focused on the potential cash flow without considering the consistency of collections, the wear and tear of the property, the turnover, and the headaches related to operating. 

I suspect that most are very similar, but obviously you will still want to study the state specific portions for the exam and take some state practice tests ahead of time.

In the cases I've identified, all of this agent's listings are over $1M.In one case, this agent was 350 sq. feet short which, based upon the sale price, represented a $100,000 gift to a buyer.In another sale, this agent was 700 sq. feet short which represented a $210,000 gift to a buyer.Has anyone heard of this practice?  

Whatever you do just make sure you are consistent and do it on a daily basis. 

Is it common knowledge as best business practice or actual business law?  

I have also tried the enemy method but need a lot more practice at it.

Personally, I like to provide a high quality product in a nice neighborhood and subsequently, I intentionally have a strong rental criteria 700+ credit etc so I can weed out the tenants I do not see being a good fit.In regards to best practices, I usually do everything via facebook messenger, text and email but I will probably utilize a google web form moving forward.
