Why was David tempted? Because, as he had just said, Affordable Rent managed properties in Columbus alone amounted to over three hundred thousand, and the guests they accommodated were on the level of half a million.
An advertising count of 300,000 and tenant credit inquiry occurrences could possibly be satisfied just with Columbus alone. If expanded to the whole of Ohio, it would be even easier for Affordable Rent.
And though the quantity might sound large, the combined cost of both these services didn't even reach ten million. This was even less than the annual losses incurred by Affordable Rent due to various damages caused by tenants.
Of course, this didn't mean that David would immediately sign off on such a large order upon being tempted. Affordable Rent needed to carefully consider the market performance of Price's List and Multi Charge after making decisions about the exact numbers, and even those were flexible. Specific prices could be determined based on tiered pricing.
