Listed it on Furnished Finder, Facebook, AirBnB, ZillowAs a long term rental, in one day, I got 10 contacts, 7 out of whom filled out my pre-screening questionnaires and disclosed their income, etc and at least 4 of them scheduled a showing for this week. 

Always have the tenants pay for the screening.

It's all about Screening.

Honestly it's almost less work for us because we don't have to screen, airbnb does, we don't have to deal with leases, airbnb does that stuff, and we don't have to advertise, airbnb does.Location: If you do str OR/AND you really want the highest appreciation (I wanted both) you want to stick close to RTP and the airport.

You can find it at the top of your screen under “Pick Markets” and use either the market finder tool or the spreadsheet.

My advice is to screen, screen, screen when you have a vacancy. 

With all tenants, you should do your due diligence screening them.

I know there are a ton of features I don't utilize personally, I mostly use it just for tenant application and screening process, and then for rent and fee collection In my personal experience here's my pros and consPros•Had a template for screening questions on the application so I didn't have to think of things to ask myself•Handles rent collection easily and for only a $1 fee to my tenants for ACH transfer which makes it easy for both parties•I can set up all rent and fees at the beginning of a lease term so it's set it and forget it for me•My tenants have said setting up auto-pay was easy and I like to make it as easy as possible for them to pay me!

Chris,For the large multi family investments, I want to see the deal pack first so I can screen for location, project class, projected cash on cash and IRR, and proposed value add method.
