my two cents: stage the house. if you were going to sell your car, taking out $20 to clean it and shine up the interior will increase it's price. the same for real estate, the exterior and look will drive up price as opposed to say an old HVAC system which won't drive down the cost as much if visitors love rhe way your kitchen set up looks like.other thought is to remember and to me more importantly than whether or not to stage your house, this is your business. everyone i've talked to says real estate investing starts out making so much sense theoretically then becomes a huge pain UNTIL they have networked enough to find themselves surrounded by the right team. there are parts of this business you rightly will want to outsource because professionals in those fields can do it better and more efficiently than you. in this case it looks like you need to take charge of your business and hire a better real estate agent and hire out the parts you need to get the deal dine including getting a professional stager.in my opinion (without knowing any other facts), those people who aren't submitting offers not because of the price so dropping your price may not make a difference. something else is going on there.

Here's why I love the area:- Tons of year-round tourist traffic (approximately 12m visitors annually)- Hardly any regulations - just register your property (cheap & easy) and pay your taxes - The area has been a tourist destination for decades and a huge part of their local economy is vacation rentals that long predate AirBNB/VRBO- Property remains more affordable than in most other vacation hot spots- Four mild seasons with limited exposure to severe weather- Fantastic ROI

If you can convey that vibe to a site visitor you will be steps ahead of the competition.

I own a 4-plex near Jewel Lake in Anchorage. Since the weather has warmed up, I have homeless people coming onto the property, knocking on my door, or hiding in our backyard nearly every day. I talked with several of ...

My concerns are any associations these guys may have and I'm thinking of a rule where there would be no visitors allowed. 

I'm viewing the 17 YOs as long-term visitors.

It was once a beautiful city supposedly but these days it's basically a shanty-town for the most part and widely considered a no-go zone for tourists to visit or expats to live in.
