It could be as simple as making offers consistently (daily basis).

The neighbor I spoke with may have been a bit overly sensitive.I have mixed feelings about it, but I'm taking a shot.

Basically your campaign needs to target the same people consistently.

If a tenant consistently causes you extra work to abide by the terms of the lease its best if you protect yourself and put it in your lease that they're going to be responsible for the extra costs in doing so, especially when you've asked them multiple times to rectify the situation.

The funds needed to fund the closing can consist of the any part of closing costs, purchase price or down payment.

If it's close(gross), stability counts...How long on job/Good rental history..Stability weak, can be a consistent problem...Also consider using a guarantor..I will if tenant seems like a good fit..you choose, but cover your basis..

The issues consist of a leaky roof, need of a bathroom remodel (because of the leaky roof) and the need for a water meter.
