Thank you all for the responses and suggestions. I took it upon myself to post my house on FB marketplace and have been getting blown up ever since last night, I have directed each and every one of them to my property management. Hopefully Ill have a good tenant within a couple weeks. 

 Thanks, most feedback are the rooms are small. 2 bedroom, no basement. But big back yard, detached 1.5 car garage. I accept pets up to 10lbs.

 Thanks, ill have to check CL, not sure if the property management has it on there. 

There is a sign out front. 

 Yep ive lowered the price over $100. My starting point was what rentcast had for my house, Ive lowered it so much already and its well below what rentcast has rent set at for the area. Comparable to other houses in the area I am only $100 more on average, my house is rehabbed and ready to go compared to those other houses.

Hi, Bought my single family home back in May, spent 3.5 months rehabbing it(back and forth from Columbus to Dayton on weekends only). The house has been on the market for going on a month and a half. It is getting foot traffic, but no one is applying. The house is small, like 550 sq ft, but all of the homes in this neighborhood are this small. Im getting tired of paying on this mortgage, im ready to see some income. I can't sell because id lose my butt on it. I have a property manager who suggested we did first month half off as an incentive. Has anybody been in this situation before? Should I just keep at it and know itll eventually get rented? Thanks,. 

Hi, I’m looking to get more quotes for some projects I need done on my very first rental in Dayton Ohio. Does anybody have any recommendations I could use who are great to work with? Thanks! 

Thank you all for the responses. I ended up signing a contract with my first rental today. I chose a house with less than 800 sq ft. I am going to buy a couple window ac units and call it a day and hope for the best. Thanks all!

Hi BP, because of my budget for real estate I am working with, a lot of the properties I am looking at do not have central air. In anybody's experience, does this factor into people renting your property? Do people tend to stay away from properties without central air? I know there are window units, but not sure how those are perceived with renters. IMO, if I was renting, and have kids Id stay away from places without central air. Thoughts? 

 Hi, can you shoot me that info as well? Thanks.
