@Jesse ValdezI just evicted someone in a house I rent by the room.

If I accept the suggested pricing opportunities it could drop my rates by $100 / night in some cases. 

Your Turn! 

I decided to work with them but this turned into a long process of approximately 6 months. 

Turns out, the right marketing found renters who appreciated the quality and were willing to pay a premium.

Here are some insights to help you navigate this:1.

i would not buy a random property in Alabama that you find on Zillow and turn it over to people you've never met just because the price point is appealing.here are some threads on how that can go:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1215726-break...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...i own property in 3 states - happy to answer any questions you have.

hi all i am a new landlord and got my first rental property. tenants moved in in September and October. the first month was fine but when December hit it got extremely cold and the heating is electric. due to poor insulation in the home that we did not know about the heat has to be turned very high up to keep the home warm, however since everything is electric it is causing the electric bill to be $800. the utilities are the tenants responsibility. however because of this one of the tenants has been extremely non compliant with paying rent.

It turns out my residential broker was just telling me anything to get me signed up. 

If more than 30 days go by with no booking, you are at risk of falling off the wagon.
