The Pew Center recently released the results of a nationwide survey that found that only about 1 in 4 American adults can distinguish between facts and opinions:http://www.newsweek.com/fake-news-poll-americans-f...More facts and fewer opinions help build better threads.  

We recently completed a study (the writeup is expected to be published Wednesday) that showed 44% of renters nationwide now have insurance, a pretty fair increase from the 37% the III found, and a great start.  

Aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications -- pulled reports from TransUnion, which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

I also sometimes wonder just if on a nationwide scale str properties became illegal and a new wave of inventory for both sales and traditional rentals would affect rents and home prices.

Their nation wide and most Providers accept it.

This is a nationwide website, but laws regarding landlord tenant is VERY location specific.On the rest I agree with @James DeRoest, You can’t see a water leak from that picture you posted, the area looks rusty.

When Ireland’s potato crop failed nationwide in 1849, the elite 1%, the landlords took the opportunity evict all of the tenant farmers.

That would still be a massive revenue source if implemented nation wide.

Look at DAWGS in Chicago I believe they are nationwide

Obviously there are some people who go from college to high paid job -> straight to A property, but by in large this is a normal ongoing process of transitioning up in class and what gets defined as A, B, C, etc. gets changed over time as a result generally improving housing stock.What the economist is getting right is that A class is also where almost all of the vacancy is right now nationwide. 1st new construction normally doesn't count in vacancy data until the building as at least 1 year old.
