The tenant will know the downside so no need to share that but there is a risk that a quality candidate might bolt if this is viewed as an unearned punitive gesture or threat.  

OK buddy so your strategy is basically to expect all the professional salespersons to sell this product that you want sold as a premium high quality product with all these cool features, bla bla bla, for zero commission, when that comparable house 2 blocks away is offering 3%?

I suppose the newer Utile product is of better quality that what was available 20 years ago, so it may be a good choice.

I like the suburbs better.Pick better areas C+/B and you will get better quality tenants and higher rents. 

There are companies that will test indoor air quality.

In lower tier properties it comes with a territory.Either way, fixing problems with quality parts and workmanship will bless YOU and, to some degree, your tenants, too. 

Always verify quality of work BEFORE U write a check.

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

My 2 cents as a contractor and someone who has worked for a cabinet maker in the past...Color shouldn't matter that much as long as you're doing paint-grade cabinets and using a good quality paint.

I'm missing some quality bird dogs and I'm looking for successful strategies on how to acquire these.
