Behind the HeadlinesReal estate companies will always boast about the benefits of acquiring real estate because it is their job.

Finds the best tenant possible while also abiding by fair housing laws Is fair to all tenants and leaves everyone feeling like they were fairly considered Currently this is my strategy:List unit on a WednesdaySchedule everyone that calls to view the apartment for the coming Saturday or SundayAll scheduled viewings in 30 min blocksNotify the tenant when they schedule that it's on a first come first served basis so the earlier they get there the betterIf someone shows up to view the apartment and want to lease it, they fill out the paid application/background check there and provide other required material. 

Hi all,First post on BiggerPockets, but I've had an interest in real estate for about a year now.I'm moving from the bay area to Seattle for a job in downtown.

We just put in a bid for a job in Washington DC.

If you lived in it for 1 year and have to move for job related reasons you'll still get 50% of the gain up to those $250/$500K limits.Take the money off the table and look to your next acquisition close to where you're going to reside as you get to know that market.
