it's a volume game. 

While engaging with the Bigger Pockets community, I've noticed many investors seeking funding.

Cash to invest (enough for deposits, skin in the game lenders want you to have, closing costs, carrying costs, and to kick off rehab work).2.) 

Probably not much better time to try out the rental game and if it doesn’t work well, or we don’t like it we can still sell and keep the capital gains exemption.

Playing an appreciation game can be risky.

I engaged with a builder that had built 22 duplex's and those were not moving on the local MLS in Vancouver Wa. 

The marketing isnt that important in my opinion but the professional photo/ video is a huge game changer and I dont believe that someone is going to make much profit at .5% on the listing side.

A collections agency will be engaged to collect the rent owed if they don't pay.

Play the long game and focus on rent and home price appreciation.

It could be worth engaging with the MSO or the owner to explore adding a renewal option or gauging the MSO’s future plans.
