When I was active, the O-4 Good Idea Fairies always tried to re-invent how we did business, and 95% of the time, they overcomplicated a simple process making our lives way harder.

@Isadore Nelson Yes, eviction is possible, but there are too many factors that need to be taken into consideration, active military family members, disabled veterans, building violations, maintenance issues and etc...

There are some active Jackson locals on here, I'd connect with them and ask them about this property. 

He's a partner in an STR management company and is very active in that sector right now in the Charleston area. 

Once a year I take out all the credit cards and make a small purchase on each one which I then pay off in full just to make sure they stay activated.

If you find someone (or multiple agents) who are taking advantage of similar marketing strategies, you can get more inquiries this way.Lastly, I'd recommend an email campaign to all buyer, listing, and rental agents who are active the same area as the rental listing.All the best!

Here in TN brokerages regularly hold EM deposits; I have a dedicated account for such deposits myself, by law, even though I don't actively broker RE but just maintain my brokerage for the PM side of things.

I am still very active in my local market as a host of the WWL Home Improvement each weekend.

if you're going to sell it to a buyer who isn't you, say that (and actually have a buyer.)if you're a full time agent though... i'd spend try to spend most or all of your time on on-market activities. 

For beginners, focus on markets with lower entry costs, high investor activity, and steady demand—like parts of the Midwest or the Southeast.
