If you are going to stay in single family rental units you have to maintain your needed statistics of demand, location, getting good deals, growth area, schools, nearby amenities, the retail development nearby, and taking baby steps but acquire several of them quickly so one vacancy will not be so painful when it happens, and it will.Good luck to you!

@Greg Bohn your statistics will directly affect the values but that doesn't mean you shouldn't invest there.

I’d also like to see where you got your statistic about less than 5% reoffending.

@Sean Morrisey @Patrick Daniel You have all referred to development as the main statistic you are looking into.

Lack of statistics/evidence indicates no real need for a LLC in your case.

Generally speaking, the statistics in Arlington predict that your realtor's strategy *may* net you more, but you're the one that has to be comfortable with it and it's your home, so do what works best for you. 

Originally posted by @Cameron Riley:@Michael J.Read the book titled “ eviction “ 92 percent of landlords would rather select persons without KIDS to be their tenants I have trouble believing that statistic.

The 2nd room was occupied 68% of the time, but generated $827 between 7 guests.Although I'd like more statistics regarding the Milwaukee airbnb market, I figure that 50% occupancy per month would generate the same amount of revenue as leasing both units would.Please give your opinions. 

Thanks for the input Rachel, was just statistics I read while doing research, not my own experience.

I found the statistics on vacancy rates and rents.
