Believe it or not, It's not an automatic "No".

. - Renting by the room does not automatically imply higher vacancy.

I've written a number of sight-unseen offers over the past 15 years, they are something you should not be afraid of, just make sure you protect yourself.When I do my initial evaluation on a property, I automatically enter $10,000 to $15,000 of initial rehab/make ready and it doesn't matter if I've seen the property or not because I run numbers before I waste the time driving around to look at property.

Check Authorization - they give this to me and I can automatically write checks out of their bank account.

I am still unclear on what it is you want to do.And starting with a lower price than what the seller wants to sell for is not automatically going to increase interest...the price needs to be lower than the market value (in many cases people think their properties are worth way more than they really are) to gain the interest you are referring to.

Their lease does not automatically renew, so end of the month the apartment is no longer theirs.

Recording a video, edit it good, place text in the video, and once people call on your number from your "cheap house for sale" signs, they are automatically plugged into your SMS text messages, witch will send them a link to the video of your property.

- I assume if the house is destroyed by something not their fault, they would automatically get their deposit back?

OwenI would get as many "real" expenses first to see what the cash flow is really going to be. 50% rule, as MikeOH will tell you, is not automatic -- it assumes the building is properly managed, expenses are under control, etc.

Karin,No, the listing alerts do not provide any automatic comps.
