I was the original and only owner of a new construction property built in 2005.

You also have two major holidays coming in the US (Thanksgiving and Christmas and construction will slow down as people take time off).

Most of the guests are on their way into town for a permanent move but need a place to stay for several months to facilitate a closing, complete construction, etc.That avatar and sellers who want to cash out and look are the sneaky win for MTR right now in my opinion.

That happens in a couple ways- but your best bet is to find an investor friendly agent that will let you tap in to their network.

I bet that you have a few keywords set up, and regularly chime in when your market and/or specific strategies pop up.

Also, I like your podcast; it's been really helpful.The need to point out what someone doesn't know and how poorly they have constructed a forum post doesn't help anyone. 

Your best bet is to establish a website and do SEO for that market.

There is much less new supply of single family homes, so the rental rates are flat to up a little; this does depend on the neighborhood though, in some of the fringe areas where there is a lot of new single family home construction the rents are a little softer.

Your best bet is working with a licensed agent who can pull accurate MLS data and understand what you are doing...
