I’m trying to stay away from FHA and get a conventional to avoid the FHA insurance. 

Institutional investors are returning to the market, evidenced by increasing transaction volumes in July and August.Supply dynamics vary across regions, with markets like Chicago, Milwaukee, and Pittsburgh benefiting from limited inventory growth below 2%.

In the spirit of "I've finally resigned myself to the fact that AppFolio has me by the balls and I'm trying to do everything that we can directly in AppFolio" I'm embarking on a journey to set up inventory management in our shop storage racks and managed in AppFolio.

Are interest rates and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios competitive compared to conventional financing?

@Jill Hutsonthree reasons why apartments don't rent: Condition, Price, and Marketing, and a fourth can be the leasing agent, although I would tend to lump that into marketing.If the house is in good shape, and you're on all the platforms marketing it, then it's a function of price.There has been an oversupply of new inventory coming on line in many markets, and that's why rents have dropped in a lot of the metros.Unfortunately, it appears you have a pricing issue and you may have to start reducing the price, or throwing in some type of  concessionGood luckGino
