I'm not in your market, but once I had specific properties identified I called around to get quotes for lawn, pest, and internet, and then got average monthly expenses for utilities and added a buffer to get my OpEx.

looking for suggestions on best methods/websites for marketing a long term rental.

I’ve flipped about ten homes in Indy and work closely with a GC and agent that know the market very well.

I am not hard to find if someone wants to work with me.As someone who has run an on-market real estate team with as many as fifty agents in the past, I can tell you that the problem is that real estate agents are lazy and unfocused and want the low-hanging fruit with limited work.

Have you ever explored a market like Ohio?

What is the AirBNB market looking like?

Great alternative to states that are cracking down on assignments  or having to try to  juggle double closes and all the marketing expenses that those that never close on props have to do.. this was simply listed on MLS and sold. 7th transaction that JLH has provided this client since Feb. 

I get builders risk policies for all my new builds and at least in the markets I built in Charleston SC  and Portland Oregon have never seen the fence and security and like you I would have trusted my broker to mention something like that.. fence and 24 hour security is just not something you do on ONE SFR rehab.. unless its a known high crime area like South side of chicago and now inner city Portland you really need the fencing etc other wise the homeless and druggies will walk off with everything.. when did a bunch of rehab loans in South Jackson MS same thing theft was off the charts and we had houses burn down .. but the dollars were much smaller.I know I have gotten larger policies for my bigger developments and I did pay my lawyer to go through them line by line and at the end of the day they really cant say what is or is not covered.Also you simply would not think of anything in Colusa county as being high crime .
