Like raise rents and increase collections.

@Dave Van Horn is an excellent resource.

Hello, I wanted to reach out to see how other independent landlords collect application fees.I manage the property from out of state, so physically being at every showing is impossible - and I don't necessarily want to tip my hand that I don't live in the immediate area to prospective applicants. 

You might make a reasonable argument, if you were going to issue currency based on standard, that that standard should be a resource that can be depleted and/or renewed, such that the circulation of fiat at any time was dependent upon the health of that resource. 

We are still in the early stages of research and are looking for any resources that could help give us a better idea of market characteristics.

I'd be happy to meet with you and share some resources/meet ups and see if there's an opportunity for us to work together.

But as others said, you really need to collect more info, & sounds like you’re going to have to do tot he hard way: If the sellers won’t give you leases, then go knocking door to door & get them from the tenants (& expect to come back to them with estoppels).

I can see hedge funds of private entities not wasting resources on a $400 lien at 5% that's redeemed at only a $20 return.

Overall using google maps and various other resources, the area seems to be a developing area.
