You can't make up lost time, and if the property is sitting too long on the market, it will be overtaken by newer listings, and diminish the amount of showings yours get.Possibly accept the lower rent for a month or two, and have the rent increase to your original price (put that in the lease) to get the unit occupied and cash-flowing again. 

I'm also not diminishing what a good realtor can add to the equation for people that really need help and guidance. 

Quote from @Nate Sanow: Quote from @Will Fraser: And as further demonstration of why many (or most) STR owners in tertiary markets (like OKC, Tulsa, Wichita, etc) are seeing a diminishing return please see this conversation. 

Do not "diminish services" or you will become familiar with the term "treble damages".Read up on the Landlord Tenant Act here: https://leg.mt.gov/bills/mca/t...

I was hesitant to try these methods out at first, but I believe you will find a larger variety of deals it appears you are looking for.Do not let the realtor deter you from your goal or diminish your standards.

Do you agree that upside potential has diminished for people in the near and midterm, buying and holding real estate?  

If you do, then your depreciation will be diminished. 

Major case of diminishing returns.
