@Jill Hutsonthree reasons why apartments don't rent: Condition, Price, and Marketing, and a fourth can be the leasing agent, although I would tend to lump that into marketing.If the house is in good shape, and you're on all the platforms marketing it, then it's a function of price.There has been an oversupply of new inventory coming on line in many markets, and that's why rents have dropped in a lot of the metros.Unfortunately, it appears you have a pricing issue and you may have to start reducing the price, or throwing in some type of  concessionGood luckGino

I also converted the other side of the property (it's a functioning duplex) into an Airbnb / Short Term Rental.

Here's the latest piece I found on Jackson County suing to undo the court order finding the assessments were illegal: https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article291980175.htmlYou can also check out some of the local news stations like fox4kc.com and KCTV5.com to keep up to date on what's happening with it. 

All I have so far is a money judgment from the courts in an effort to recuperate some of the money through wage garnishment.

Most of them don’t qualify, but often they are not going to tell you the truth – you have to figure it out through your screening process.Evictions for Cause and for Non-Payment: The frequency of needing court filings and eviction proceedings is higher than any other property I’ve ever managed.

I am hoping that one integrated system can handle both functions.

The courts often view accepting ANY rent as rent being paid. 

So even if you pick a state with stronger protections like WY or NV, the cause of action arose in the state where the tenant fell, so likely that the court where the accident happened would have jurisdiction.

But if a tenant doesnt' want to pay me rent and they are essentially stealing rent from me, I have to go through hoops and then even when I get to court and a judge agrees they've been stealing rent, the judge gives them another two weeks to stay there (i.e. steal even more rent).

Also, most rentals are more about function than form.
