Sales are heavily slanted to the favor of the seller?

I think it's a mixture of 1) not that many people doing screening, and 2) the ones that do, do it on the computer and rely much more heavily on the credit check.

Elizabeth,In my experience it's most helpful in the STR world to simply heavily integrate your property with multiple lead sources.

I am still active duty military and investing heavily on my time off in an attempt for my passive real estate income to supplement my military income at retirement.  

The historically low interest rates tempt me to go for another home (probably in a different area), but I fear I may be too heavily invested in real estate if I do.

I am a beginner investor and I am in the process of heavily marketing for motivated sellers.

I do weight payments of rents and maintenance of the dwelling quite heavily.

Where I live now, in central TX, many lower priced homes have just window units, especially if they're on heavily treed lots, or close to one of the lakes.
