Hey John, it sounds like you're doing all the right things to get the house rented but obviously not knowing where your located $2400 per month for rent doesn't draw a heavy crowd unless its the norm for that area.Keep in mind there are a lot of "lookers" that come just to see what $2400 a month would get them if there are in a lower price bracket. 

I am just getting into real estate investing myself, but now I am starting to think this market, which is already expensive, is going to be even more competitive and saturated. 

I know about Texas because I had a business there and I was subject to heavy taxes.

And there are many other massive investments coming to the area including a national aquatic center that will host national competitions.

Shop around on online platforms for competitive paying tenants.

Be advised that prices have risen rapidly over the last few years and competition is fierce, so don't get discouraged when you lose your first few bids at or above ask price.

I also do a lot of the rehab (except, roofing, HVAC, electrical, and heavy plumbing).

@John NeffYou said you had read the heavy hitters, so I’ll take that as rich dad and Millionaire Real Estate Investor.

I invested heavy because I had a day job and needed write offs etc. 

Normally when I renovate I give away the metal for free, but cast radiators are pretty heavy and may be worth the time and effort to scrap them yourself.Happy investing,Troy
