I have noticed with all of the guru's out there, it's gotten more difficult.

.: I have noticed a lot of realtors, newbies, and even folks that have been buying properties for a while and should know better telling folks to find off market deals. 

This is the breakdown:2 tenants on month to month leases ~$250-$350 less than market1 long term tenant (15yrs) is now on month to month lease and is paying $1500 less than marketAfter consulting with a couple of people and doing some research, it sounds like anything over a I should apply banking rent raise and submit a 60 day notice (all of these units fall into that category).

I noticed I had vacancy in the column twice, so I reduced both to total 8% like you suggested.

You will get A LOT of appointments by sending A LOT of hard target mailers (like the ones that say 5th notice and such, drive return calls), but it's a lot for a little.

Hi Ian, we have 15 units medium term in our management portfolio listed in FF and Airbnb and accept 1 month stays, but I do think that 3 months minimum with 45 days notice is a good base lease term setting to reduce the frequency of occupancy changes.

I noticed you are in Austin Tx (I'm in the Ft Worth market as a Landlord, rehabber primarily).
