I'm making $1000 per month and $800 per month respectively after accounting for vacancy. 

It is a combination of reviews, pricing, amenities, quality of photos/listing, and CTR (click-through rate). 

Be sure to take photos when tenants move in and let them know they will be charged for any further dents/scratches that they cause. 

The interior is great but that first photo just had me go uggh.

Otherwise, Steven Silva with Simple Staging did an amazing job with the staging and the photos.

Always good to work with a seasoned rep who is reliable well respected and has aggressively priced products. 

Are photos attractive?

If the answers are "yes" and "no" to those questions, respectively I'd highly suggest you look into Detroit's down payment assistance program.
