Pricing a property correctly is very important- for a few reasons:
1. Credibility with your client/owner. If a property is initially priced too high, an owner loses money as it sits vacant and others nearby that are priced correctly are rented out ahead of it. Initially pricing a property too low, however, will lead to an incredible amount of interest and a quick rental- but you’ll be doing a great disservice to an owner who is able to withstand a bit of vacancy time while netting … (0 comments)
My initial reaction to this story was but a simple "Yep". I mean, I don't necessarily see anything profound or earth-shattering about news that student loan debt might hurt those bearing said debt- or any other debt for that matter. Money going out the door towards anything inherently leaves less money to pay for other wants, needs and/or responsibilities.
A bit more thought got me riled up a bit, in that I really don't care for where this story in particular and the student … (16 comments)

Helpful hint of the day... an HHOTD, if you will: when using an office shredder such as the one pictured above, ensure that all of your documents' pages have indeed been shredded prior to leaving for the day.
Don't get me wrong, shredders such as this one are pretty dang convenient- in that they allow one to place a stack of documents inside and walk away while the shreddin's done.
The down side of this is, of course, is that it's just as easy to forget what … (6 comments)

Seems there's been a bit of trouble brewing down on Marco Island. Some of the goings-on with the Code Enforcement folks of this seemingly idyllic area of Southwest Florida should serve as a reminder for homeowners elsewhere, though: if you rent out your property to tenants who don't comply with codes, you're ultimately responsible for paying any fines that accrue. In this story, a property owner (technically their daughter) appeared at a code enforcement hearing to answer complaints that their tenant had had committed a number of … (2 comments)

I've seen it a lot in real estate/property management, but the scenario plays itself out in other facets of life as well: passing up good while holding out for great leaves one with nothing. In property management, for instance, an owner with a place on the market and vacant might require that applicants meet a higher credit score than our usual one. That's well within their prerogative- and some would argue it's human nature that another applicant will soon follow any that are sent on … (2 comments)
11 appointments for the day, all but #8 went well...
Yesterday was a pretty good day in terms of activity, I suppose. It's typically a bit slow right now, but I had 11 appointments set to show 7 different properties to a total of 11 tenant prospects. I set out for the day and starting knockin' 'em out: 1, 2, 3, 4... Everyone was showing up for their appointments- and on time for the most part! Then came #8, my 2:00 pm showing. I'd spoken with this prospect at … (130 comments)

2014 Rental listings- Photos You Shouldn't Post We've all seen 'em- those ads we can't believe someone posted, yet they posted. I'm not sure what goes through the minds of some, but I figured that as we head into 2014, I'd offer a few examples of photos you shouldn't post. For those who are into lists of "do's and don'ts" and such, these would surely be "don'ts". The photo above is a decent example of Photos You Shouldn't Post Type #1: blurry photos. Perhaps this photo's snapper was intentionally blurring the entire … (8 comments)

Roach spray won't kill a frog
A friend of mine called me up the other day, and it seems that a Florida green frogs such as this had somehow gained access to their home- and was hopping around a bedroom. Said friend not being the biggest fan of green frogs, she told me she couldn't catch it and that her plan was to kill it. She'd been stalking it with a can of Raid for a while, and.....
Jaywalking...an Orlando family tradition that took a tragic turn this Christmas. There are some things we shouldn't pass along to our kids- and the habit of jaywalking should be pretty high on the "not to" list.... Another tragedy- yet a very preventable one if folks would only use sidewalks for walking and let cars use the streets.
