They moved in this weekend and are thrilled to death to get it.The next town over (just 9 miles away) has more rentals available, so we might have had a harder time finding a renter there, but I don't know.We try to provide a better quality rental than others in town, and we will charge for it.

I'm so thrilled to know they were helpful to you.Here's wishing you tremendous real estate investing success!
