I realize this comes with the STR business but if I'm going to continue to use VRBO I need to find away to attract the "good" guests and minimize the bad ones.

Now, either I'm not posting in the right places of i.e Cragslist / BP etc or my ads aren't as well constructed as I think they would be to attract motivated sellers.

I have actually been thinkin about cutting losses honestly, I am not sure this is the best investment I could have made as my first but worried about how much of a loss I would have to take.It is meant for S8 for sure, I would have a stringent application process, and give the neighborhood a C from my research.I invested there because it was the first deal that basically fell on my lap where the mentor works with agents that Seller Finance deals, it was only $3k down and had thought the proximity to St.Louis would be attractive to tenants also.I effed up on waiting to post for rent until after all repairs and the COO for sure.  

@Jack Cottrell You Vacancy & Maintenance percentage are aggressive and may only work for a Class A rental/tenant.If the is a Class B or C rental that will attract Class B or C tenants, you should strongly consider increasing those percentages.NOTE: we deal with a LOT of Class B & C rentals, so we replace "Vacancy" with "Vacancy/Tenant Nonperformance".

Seems like “Vegas” attracts the less than honest hustlers   I see it in the PML HML space you see brokers with NV address's but no NV mortgage lender license those are basically fake lenders full stop .. since its illegal to be located in Vegas and lend money with no state license at least on 1 to 4 units. could be they use NV LLC for the perceived privacy that state offers kind of like WY ?

Many pest companies stated this was the worse infestation they had ever seen.Despite its condition, the property presented an attractive investment opportunity due to its below-market listing price.

It makes the property more attractive to students and can justify slightly higher rent.

(They have other properties throughout the area listed as "approximate location" and not just this one, but most are listed as "location" with development name, street name or near an attraction.) 

The purpose of marketing is to attract an in-person showing.

By positioning the property effectively and highlighting its strengths, we attracted motivated buyers quickly, ensuring a successful sale without the need for renovations.
