I met a very helpful lady who confirmed those fees and will close the account.

For me, I like to brrrr in a way that attracts nice tenants who like a nice look and are willing to pay to stay there and are happy and even thankful.

If you want to attract rockstars, be a rockstar.

Obviously a game room would be attractive; but you really would need to find a way to get it A/C and go all out to be able to see the real potential.

Once you get clear on that then you can start to put the word out and begin to attract what you're seeking. 

One big reason is that the property I self-manage is in a great neighborhood in Pensacola, Florida and attracts high-quality tenants, who are much easier to manage than average or below-average tenants. 

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

The only real attraction is the Cubs?

Buy in a primarily owner-occupied neighborhood to attract tenants who are a lower economic risk, says Ryan L.
