With balanced conditions and steady demand, well-presented and properly priced homes continue to attract buyers, while overpricing can lead to longer days on market and, ultimately, a lower final sales price.

Are these things known to attract C and C+ renters in this area; What is the possibility that they will become crime areas or areas of contentious fighting over who stole my rutabaga's?

Each structure has pros and cons depending on your income levels, business goals, reinvestment strategy, and whether or not you plan to distribute profits.One of the key benefits of a C Corporation is the flat federal tax rate, which can be very attractive if you and your partners are in high personal tax brackets — especially if you’re planning to reinvest profits back into the business rather than distribute them immediately.That said, a C Corp also comes with its own downsides, like potential double taxation if you’re taking dividends.

By eliminating the separate, "service fee" line item at guest checkout, the "all-in" pricing model aligns better with modern travelers and hotels.I personally believe this helps everyone in our industry attract more guest demand.Guests see the final price up front, reducing the "sticker shock" that often leads to cart abandonment.

I’d definitely recommend adding a drone or map shot that highlights your proximity to the beach and nearby attractions — it helps guests visualize the location instantly.

Hi Connie,In addition to Zillow, here are a few other platforms that have worked well for marketing long-term single-family rentals:Apartments.com (which also syndicates to sites like ForRent.com and ApartmentFinder)Realtor.comHotPads (owned by Zillow, but sometimes gets separate traffic)Craigslist (still effective in many markets—just be mindful of scams)Facebook Marketplace and local Facebook rental groupsAvail or TurboTenant – free or low-cost platforms that also syndicate to multiple rental sitesAlso, if you're in an area with strong local demand, a simple yard sign can still attract quality tenants.Hope that helps—and best of luck filling your vacancy!

Something with a first-floor guest suite or a separate entrance for one of the rooms could also work well, both for now and for attracting renters later.The good news is that any solid single-family home in those school districts transitions very smoothly into a rental.

Maybe edit the title of this post to attract local agents.And maybe try out the deal calculators on this platform, I believe you can analyze 3 deals for free -you didn't provide any numbers here for us to really chime in.It doesn't sound like this is your first cruise so I'm assuming you have a team assembled and cash reserves in place to cover vacancy/cap x, and repairs etc..I wouldn't kill myself to find a cash flowing deal at the moment - those are challenging right now, but I would more so strive for something that allows you to break even.

While a duplex will work, finding them can be challenging and may take some time.Another attraction with a duplex is you could experiment with STR & MTR in the other unit for more cashflow to spur your portfolio growth!
