Tenants wear shoes in the house and there are no cleaning services.

It comes with the iphones.Don't drink on the job, don't play loud music on the job (earphones are your friend), don't lear at the lady renters (you are there for business), and dressing like a (successful) workman in clean clothes everyday will probably go a long way in making a good first impression, on both the owner and the renter.Clean boots or shoes are a positive.

Haven't been doing it as long as you (about 11 years) but it was my title rep that told me that (I said title officer in my original post in error). 

I have been in your shoes before, and things aren't as far off as they may seem.

If I were in your shoes I would allow them to buy a shed. 

REP status, Investment horizon versus Depreciation recapture, Offsetting income, Offsetting Cost of Segregation study versus size of Early writeoff, Sunset window 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%,,,.We loved not paying taxes for two years, helps on upfront cashflow.

The real estate board rep told me during my 3 months of trying to get my rents that, especially if you are out of state, never rely on a one-man company to avoid issues like that.

We haven’t closed but our hard money lender and wholesaler are familiar with them and their rep Julie is very familiar with how wholesaling works.

Put yourself in the property owners shoes.

Look at being an insurance agent, a registered rep, a stock broker or something in sales.
