That slide deck is awesome!

It was a 7200 sf home with pool, deck, tennis court, 14 horse stables, ranch house, and multiple riding arenas complete with a creek running through the property.

I had a deck at a rental property start on fire from embers that blew out of a fire pit.

(Deduct it as an expense) You want them to feel they are walking into a home with nice touches, books, deck of cards, a painting.

Outside (not watching on a deck) looking at the door or something is OK.

Skip the Astroturf on the deck.

I used apartments .com to run the full background, eviction, credit, on her application she had to list previous rent and work history and income. she seemed perfect - very good communication , she pointed out a dusty fan blade prior to moving in lol and honestly I was happy she was picky!  

If deck is saying DSCR should be 1.5 but in reality it is 0.88, it means the biz execution plan has been wrong 40%.Restructure the capital is okay but the first thing the GP should do is to renegotiate with the lender first.Capital call is sort of business hostility act when GP can't perform their biz plan (or dumb enough to do business) and/or can't negotiate with lender.Lenders aren't performing acts of kindness.

If you start simple and small and stack the deck in  your favor, odds are you will find it easier to see where your path might lead. 

I don’t think anyone is predicting a decrease in rent in non-decking population markets.
