I would use online platforms (zillow, etc..), rentometer, and calling competitive properties to "price shop".

Hey Poonam, although I am pretty new to this platform, I have been a real estate investor for a while now as well as a business owner.During my journey, I have invested a lot of time and money in people more experienced than me to get where I want to be.

Realize the difficulty in determine a tenant has been rewarded for misbehavior in the screening process.My view is LL that do cash for keys are a big part of the problem and that these LL need to realize this.  

Do you screen them first, or get to an agreement, let them view the property in person, etc?

I can't modify how I view properties or rents.2.

The reality that neither view is realistic or probable.The best advice I can give would be to underwrite for long-term leases as that can be an acceptable exit strategy, but be prepared to execute well on your MTR strategy (great interior design along with profesisonal photos and concierge servive). 

We have tried a dozen and ended up with our own custom built Podio platforms.

One responsible party.I began posting on BP in January 2009, and almost immediately, active investors and other posters with differing views made the same arguments in your posting.

Unlike STRs, a platform that analyzes vacancy, pricing, etc. does not exist.
