Welcome Tiffany...I'm new too and have already found this site super informative and helpful!   Joyce

Get another PM...they should be working with and for you.  Also, check out rents in the area on www.rentometer.com    Advertise a little higher than what you actually will take and see if you get any responses.  If you get a lot, then the rent is still too low.  If you don't get any responses, then adjust rent until just the right number of people respond.  You just need one person who is qualified.   In your ad, be sure to put qualifications you desire, i.e. non-smoking, good rental history, good credit score, pets OK, etc.  That way there are no surprises.  :0) And finally, but most important, screen, screen, screen all tenants!! Good luck!

Congratulations!  

You might want to check out rents in SF before you post it on Craigslist.  Sounds like your rent is way too low.

I like rentometer.com, which gives you an idea if your rents are high or low.  

Good luck!

Can you do a 1031 exchange from a fourplex into a single family home which will

also be used as a rental?  I am wanting to downsize.
