 Thanks, I avoided FB marketplace since this house is a little higher end but I might do it. Will also look into apartments.com 

 Interesting, so offer a 9 month lease essentially? We are right next to the schools and they are highly sought after 

 Thanks for your feedback. Yeah it’s been really weird. I was able to check and our last people that went with something bigger went for a $3995 per month rent that was 3900 sqft. It seems we’ve just gotten really unlucky. I’ve consulted with a couple property managers and they mentioned they use Zillow so I figured they aren’t doing much else than me… maybe I do need to check with a real estate agent instead. When you say you wouldn’t count Zillow apps, what do you mean?

Hi all,

Have my property up for rent (I live in this one still, moving out next week), and have had a rough time with applicants, looking for any feedback. We have had 37 inquiries, at least 15 tours, and 5 applications. Unfortunately, none of the applicants have qualified and oddly enough, none of the applicants contacted me before applying and none did a showing. We have had 3 or 4 well qualified people come tour, love the house, but end up going with something else that they say is larger than ours. I've asked the last 2 that fall into this category if pricing has been a factor, and they said no, price was fine but they could spend more and went that route. We even accept up to 3 pets with no weight restrictions on dogs...  We feel we're in a tough spot where people spend a bit more for a bigger, more luxurious home, or they are pushing their budget with this house and not qualified.

I know pics aren't the best, but we plan to take professional one's once we are out next week if it's still not rented. The house has been impeccable during shows. Since we are getting interest, I don't think the pictures are the problem. We are moving to Florida and pulled the house off for about 10 days when Ian hit to be safe and ensure this house wouldn't rent, the other would be destroyed, and we'd be out. 

Appreciate any insight you have: https://www.zillow.com/homedet...

Well, whatever the problem is, it doesn't seem obvious. It show well, I don't see a city dump or hazmat next door & Rentometer thinks you shold be able to get $3,200 fairly easy.

 Thanks. We started at $3200 and have worked our way down. My husband really doesn’t want to lower again so this is helpful. Maybe bad time of year since school has already started?

 Yeah, my landlord policy is about the same and property tax in TN is stupid low to begin with, both factored in though.

 I could but would prefer not to since it won't be furnished and I think my neighbors would kill me! We could do rentals for relocation or something like that but probably not traditional airbnb

 Thanks Bruce. My concern is this home is high end Class A, first category to see a drop in rents and tenants. I think holding on does make sense though.

 Thanks Scott. May I ask how you came up with that formula?
