Survey….no, but you’d have to do this to subdivide.

Subdivide….maybe. It depends on if smaller lots would be buildable, the costs to subdivide and if the smaller lots are in demand and priced at higher $/sf.

Septic/well…not any more than the cost to install, plus buyers may want them located in a different spot.

That's strange that you're getting mostly CA applicants. I had an issue once where Zillow thought my rental was in California (it was showing it on the map in Sacramento). Turns out it was an error in how zillow was interpreting the street name + suffix, which I believe was a bug in the listing being syndicated to Zillow from my PM software. After manually fixing the address, Zillow took a few hours to "refresh" before my rental was shown in the correct AZ location. Try viewing your own listing in a different web browser as if you were a prospective renter and make sure the location and all relevant details are accurate. 

As others have mentioned, you really shouldn't have any trouble renting right now. I just listed a property in Scottsdale for $500/month more than the previous lease and receive like 6 sight unseen applications within 48 hours of listing. I even had a couple parties offering more money per month and longer lease terms if I'd bump them to the top of the list. 

Hey @Francisco Milan - I don't know of any company that can do this, but if you find someone let me know. One thing that's worked really well for me is looking through county deed records of the addresses that the LLC's are being housed under.

I'd say 50% of the time the LLC address leads to a residential property, that I can then skip trace.

Best skip tracing service out there is finding a VA with a TLO subscription and using them. We use a guy form Upwork who charges $.25 a search with no minimum. So far numbers from him have had 40% success rate, meaning 40% of people sent we were able to call and get in contact with using numbers he provided.

I get a fair amount of leads (and do my screenings) through Apartments.com. No fee. I also list at Zillow which pushes to Trulia and a couple more. I find Facebook to be exactly as you described and while I list there, I add the application link to the Apartments.com listing so I don't have to reply to 40 "Is this available" messages. I also list w/ our local housing authority and their partners. I'm in a similar situation as you right out in the PNW. Getting a lot of inquiries, but a lot of it is from out of state and a lot arent meeting our minimum qualification standards. Best of luck to you.
