How long are your propertys sitting vacant in SA?
Mine is at 34days n counting and its pretty annoying. My rent is set at 1570$ for a 4/2.5 2700sf house in the NE with good schools. Initially i was getting good showings but now its dropped to nothing even after a price drop. Is the rental market here always this brutal or is it time of year?

Jerry, Have you considered Airbnb? Homeowner's that have a hard time finding Rentors sometimes turn to Airbnb and most of the time experience higher returns. It does involve more work organizing and hiring out cleaning in between bookings but if you're not extremely busy this is a great option. Final Four is this weekend and Airbnb's in San Antonio have skyrocketed, some houses close to downtown are renting out for more than $1,000/night. 🙀Crazy!
