Is Ocala , FL rental market cooling off

[Sendil Thangavelu]

Hi Folks,

Is Ocala rental market cooling off? I have a 4 Bed, 3 Bath, 2k Sq feet priced right , sitting on the market for over a month. Applicants don't seem to qualify the criteria of 650 Credit score or income 3X of rent . Most don't want to pay 1 month security deposit. Has the market shifted?

Also, I wonder why many prospective tenants that have over 20 years of work experience have huge educational loans, running into tens of thousands of dollars. It seems to be a pattern. 

Thanks
