@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

In a few years when that first house gets to over 50% equity then you can think about doing a cash out refinance to buy a third or even a fourth by then.
