What are the top three (or more if you're willing to share) types (regarding subject matter, i.e. water leak, A/C broken, etc.) of phone calls you get from your tenants?

What is the best way to protect home from water damage from a leak?
It can be hard enough to protect my own home from damage from a water leak (especially if no one is even home), much less with a rental.
Does anyone have any experience with any of the automated products, such as Watercop, that are designed to automatically shut the water off if a leak is detected?

On the other hand, selling agents here require a pre approval letter submitted with any offers before they will consider them, those letters we only have done to the offer price we are making, your lender should have no problem making you additional ones higher if needed.
Bottom line is, its human nature to see more and then ask for more. Your top line isnt the sellers business, just the dollar amount you are currently offering.
Very well put. Thanks a lot David.

Yeah Bill, this is what I think I will do. If they counter with a higher number than I'm willing to pay, I'll simply stick to my plan and indicate I'll walk away just as I would if they had no idea how much I was approved for.
Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for everyone's replies.
Now I just have to decide whether I want to have a separate letter emailed to me for every offer I make that shows I'm qualified for that dollar amount or if I want to have one letter that shows I'm qualified for quite a bit more than any offer I'm going to make.

How do I keep the maximum amount I'm approved for private from my real estate agent and the seller?
I don't want either one to know the maximum amount I'm approved for. All they need to know is I can afford the home I'm looking for.

Buying deals via the MLS in Denver is extremely challenging. Due to the market conditions being incredibly strong deals go well above what they should go for.
Here are a few ideas...we have bought deals via all these strategies.
1. PPC on google/bing
2. Direct mail
3. Other wholesalers
4. referrals/word of mouth
5. Other agents
6. Estate sales
7. FSBO's
8. MLS
9. Probate attorneys
10. Craigslist. For Sale by owner section
Good luck.
Fantastic advice. Thanks a lot Craig.
