The market has changed and depending on the area, houses are sitting longer. 

i provide dishwasher if we are putting a new kitchen. also a garbage disposal.sometimes i provide washers/dryers if i have extra laying around (i always seem to have them).sometimes i have purchased fridges and ovens since it's best to invest in capital expense and get a tenant than to have a house sit empty forever.our lease also states that tenants should purchase the appliance plan, which noone really does purchase. 

We found this deal reviewing Loopnet and saw it had been sitting on the market.

Hey BP World,I’ve been a bit quiet here for a while, but I’m ready to change that.

@Thomas Haessig If you haven’t done something similar I would sit down with a notebook and write out your goals.

They're not just going to sit on it and wait, can't afford to. 

One area that I have thought of are homes that sit on the market for a long time for sale or rent.

Start to see what makes one more than the other you might have one site looking at quartz counter tops with huge living rooms and the other looking at plastic counter tops,  being able to identify this will help you identify where your property could sit.  

You are currently sitting in Los Angeles's entertainment mecca and Mid Term rentals/30+ day rentals are a great alternative to the STR limitation.
