It is widely recognized as a loss leader within the industry and those who are successful normally have a complimentary business such as a brokerage or a construction company that performs complimentary services.

I have a stunning 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 4,300-square-foot single-family home in Cleveland, MS, that I’m looking to sell.

For sure that is zip to zip but generally longer vacancies might be the normal for certain zips/streets. 

@Clare Pitcher we do 12+ month leases to avoid vacancies Nov-Feb.If we take over an occupied property, evict or have tenancy-abandon a property, we first let the owner know finding a tenant will take longer than "normal".This opens up owners to understanding they may need to:1) Offer 3D tour and floor plans to stand out2) Price more aggressively or be prepared for aggressive price reductions3) Offer MoveIn Specials:- NOTE: we do NOT recommend offering a month of free rent that can be used at MoveIn.

Wait until the move-out date and confirm she's gone, then handle turnover like normal.

If you can't qualify, DSCRs are a good option but I normally advise to stick with a 3-year prepay (or less, depending on pricing).

$77,000 earnings on a $190,000 investment is unheard of in real estate, but quite normal for a well running business.New RE investors are always after cash flow and CoC return.
