I actually would start high on the rent. Let it sit for at least two weeks before you decrease the price. Gage it by how much interest you are getting. If you/ your agent are getting calls on it at that high price then let it sit. But if no one actually contracts after about two going into three weeks, then lower the price. And continue on that path until you get it rented. What Ive learned is if you are too eager, you may miss out on cash flowing high.
