@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

I admit i had to skim that novel you wrote, but the only functional use for BTC I could see you giving was buying a pizza in Venezuela .. a country with a completely devalued currency and teetering on the brink of failure. 

I am hoping that one integrated system can handle both functions.

This is a prime example of functional obsolescence.

Many Martis buyers are interested in form over function and the builds can reflect that, with more $ spent on adding square footage and finishes than the details that aren't seen (insulation, ventilation, water management, etc). 

I recommend focusing on getting a great investment property and disregarding Section 8 in that pursuit because any property can be a Section 8 property, but a lousy investment is lousy regardless of having a Section 8 tenant or not.Section 8 will perform a basic functional and safety inspection for your units after you have an agreement with a Section 8 tenant and your local housing authority.

Also, most rentals are more about function than form.

The next buyer brought in an engineer who had over 20 years experience with older residential homes in Denver and said, "yeah, it's not perfect and certainly not to current code but it will likely continue to function as it has for the past 80 years."

Hubspot is good because the basic functions are free.

An existing kitchen layout might work well for adding a dishwsher or microwave hood for example allowing it to be made functionally modern without a major rehab.
