This is just a whim, so take it for what it is worth....If you want to sell while market is UP a lot, i get that.....but, I wonder if you'd consider renting for a while to see if the market cools a bit....so, your next purchase does not break the bank. 

And then when I get there, "I noticed it was running really loudly for the last month or two", and instead of calling me then, they waited until it stopped.  

Once I get further in my investing career cash flow will be more important and I'll start purchasing in higher cash flow areas.

I get right to the point!

I get asked frequently: "how nice do you have to furnish a monthly rental?"

If I get one that has a credit score of 700 or better and all my other criteria is met I will offer to sign a lease with them right away.I keep taking applications till I have a signed lease. 

You can find local meetups in your area by going to Network>Events up in the menu bar.

Where Can I get a background check for prospective renters?   

I get all the wholesale emails (each company or person has the same listings) and I have bought through these emails before but I'm looking to get the wholesale properties before they get to these lists.
