So you're only ever going to attract tenants who don't have other options or are settling.

I obviously have plenty of pictures and videos of my home, but I don't entirely know what I need to do to get it to be attractive to other renters.

With an infant at home and being a film Producer, I have no room to plan an event like that!

The taxes are nearly double in my market for income producing property.

In which case our next questions is, what else we could do to help the other side produce an offer, and her answer is "You can't force anyone to buy a house".

If there are attractive MF deals there now, I would say jump on it.

Realistically, most families want to either be close to the base, or close to some tourist attraction around, so I bet you would find more success casting your net either at, or between those two things if that's the kind of fish you're trying to catch.

Usually the highest producing assets come with either the most risk, or the most work. 

@Laurie CundiffA 401k is tax sheltered, meaning the income produced by investments is generally not taxed.   

If you can't attract tenants to an area, it's tough to get home buyers.
