A criminal conviction is not an automatic disqualification.

One of the mistakes that I think people make is automatically thinking a property is "a deal" just based on the 50% rule, 1% (or 2%) rule, etc. 

Does he give automatic extensions? 

It is automatically in the standard contract agents use.  

The average person is going to have their guard up and automatically say no. 

@J Scott  this is why when I see the TV guys touting 40k on a deal and folks then automatically move to well I just do one a month and Wa LA I am making 480k large a year so sure I will pay 50k to learn how to do this.. why not.

Just because you got a great deal doesn't mean he automatically gets it too.

We do have follow up tasks automatically set 1 day out to see if they did the application and if not, contact them.

In my area a 1 year lease is automatically converted into a month-to-month lease if nothing is put in place following the expiration of the original lease.  

Doesn't this automatically infuse bias in the appraisal process?
