A partner and I bought a package of 7 single family homes in the same neighborhood. One or two are below market rents and 4 were not rented. Before closing our PM rented them all for market rents or higher. We still need to get one home's rent up and should have that done shortly although she's on section 8 so our PM is working on it.
