Hi @Sammi LiuVacancy rates: there is no real data available industry wide for vacancy rates in the rental of Single Family Homes as most of the data we have comes from the Multi-Family market - so properties with 2+ units.Your most accurate sense of the vacancy rates will come from calling and asking current Property Managers and even then it will be anecdotal and possibly biased by the desire to secure your property rather than accurate data you can use to assess your risk adequately but it gives you a 'feel'.The best way to get a sense of the vacancy rate of Single Family Homes is to test the market.

By doing this, yes you cast a wide net, but the actual people who will be clicking are going to be better.

Currently we are on a state wide rent control. 

Do you intend to run wide open every waking hour 7 days straight (I and some I know have done this), or do you intend to sit by the pool with a Mohito and just do business when you have to (to keep things from falling apart)?

I am not sure about the other areas in North Shore, you would have to check the rules in each area as they can vary widely as you go around the lake.The good part is, duplex and multifamily are beginning to make sense as long term rentals again.  

Also, as per my first response, neighborhoods can vary widely from street to street.

The U.E. band is quite wide (14'), extending from the fence to 1' away from the house.

Do your photos capture the space from the best angles?

I think the angles of finding deals will be a combination of connections and software.

Run every number from every angle.
