The concept of perceived value: people have to think you're very successful. It's better to have one expensive-looking brochure than five shoddy ones. [2003] - Darryl Davis

We generally try to schedule all our showings for the same time. You could show your unit to one tenant at a time. This is a great way to get to know the applicant a bit more, but it is also very time-consuming and inefficient, especially if you don't live nearby. Also, an open house-like environment creates an air of demand, which helps get applications completed much quicker. Encourage the prospective tenants to complete the application before they leave. [2013] - Julie Broad

Condo rules tend to be severely restrictive in comparison with living in a traditional home. For example: 1) No pets and even no children. 2) The number of occupants residing in an individual unit may be capped. 3) Operating a home business may be forbidden. 4) Playing loud music or otherwise making loud noises is likely to be prohibited. Other restrictions may forbid walking in heavy shoes on bare parquet or uncarpeted flooring, storing bicycles on balconies, barbecuing on balconies, decorating or changing the exterior of a unit to the extent that it may not conform to the overall architectural design of the complex, and making interior structural changes. In many cases, renting the unit to others may also be subject to restrictions.  [2013] - Dan S. Barnabic

Develop the habit of eating an excellent, high protein breakfast with no toast, bacon, or sausage. Eat a high quality lunch, ideally composed of a salad with protein such as chicken or fish.

Flake-Out Factor is when you get a phone number or email address and your communication attempts are not returned, or her communication stops after one or two exchanges. The number one cause of the flake-out is that not enough comfort and rapport was generated. In other words, you probably bailed out of the conversation a little early, or you started to appear too interested and needy. The number two reason is that too much time has elapsed between the initial and subsequent contacts. [2012] - Christopher Gray
