I’m aware this creates a conflict of interest, even if disclosed, and I’m trying to decide whether to:Find a separate buyer’s agent to represent only my interests, orRepresent myself in the transaction and deal directly with the listing side.Both properties are listed at market price and I’ve already toured them, so the question comes down to negotiation strategy and legal protection.

In the suburbs where its a bit lower class areas, multiple times I have seen fake rents where tenant is really paying less, landlord lies about some numbers or that someone is up to date who isn't, etc.One other tip.

@Antoine @Antoine V.Absolutely,  let me know when you're in town and we can try and match up a meetup date.  

Since not everyone can tour in person, offering a quick FaceTime or video walkthrough can make all the difference.At the end of the day, leasing specialists need to think more like Realtorsto close the deal build rapport, stay consistent, and keep following up.Keep going, landlords don’t lose momentum, You got this!

Faster adjustments mean more tours in week one and fewer stale days.

That's from executed contract, not including visits, tours, negotiations and holidays.

The dates were between 8 and 12 months ago.

While you hunt, tour 2–4 unit deals to sharpen reps, line up a local attorney, inspector, and PM, and be ready to move when a clean T12 and inspection match your numbers.

Then, closer to the date, you can get a formal preapproval letter. in the meantime, I would look to educate yourself and go to as many networking events as possible to build up your team 

In 1973 while travelling through the Knoxville area I toured the Oakridge Nuclear Facility visitor's center.
