BRR2OR?
Rather than simply finding a renter, what about offering your listings as a "Rent 2 Own" type deal?
Tenants take on a different mentality than just pure renters; they'll take care of your property better.
If they bail, you keep the deposit. (And it's my understanding that they bail more often than not)
And if they DO purchase the house you'll only be hit with long term capital gains, as you would have held the property over a year.
Thoughts?
