After all he has been fired several times for "patterns of deception" and most of his inner circle quit and called him a pathological liar when he was re-hired.

Many of them only attract unreasonably CHEAP owners who will immediately fire you if they find someone else cheaper or you won't capitulate to their cost-cutting demands.

If this is for a class A property then fire them.

Quote from @Elealeh Fulmaran: Smart to draft the offer now and be ready to fire—come in clean with proof of funds, tight inspection focused on roof/HVAC/electrical/plumbing, and a short response deadline so you control tempo.

here are some sure fire tips to ensure the desired outcome is achieved:- Zoning.

For long term rentals I do not generally use month to month except in certain circumstances (example, once I had a property come available and was contacted by an agent for an insurance company who needed to place a family for 8 - 10 months while their fire damaged home was being repaired and were offering well above market value rent). 

I moved here from Portland in 2020 to start investing and now own 10+ rentals, and the macroeconomics are on fire — huge population growth, tons of job growth, and major companies moving and expanding here like Intel, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Honda, LG, and more.

This property had been damaged in a fire, then another tenant's unit caught fire a few months later.Right now I'm working through extensive rehabs.

The macroeconomics here are on fire with huge job growth, population growth, and massive company developments like Intel, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Honda, LG, Facebook, and more, so appreciation has been strong too.

Most new landlords end up learning by fire no matter what type of tenant they have.
