This could be a faster route to get your short-term rental up and running.2.Look for Motivated Sellers:In the current market, there may be opportunities with motivated sellers who are willing to negotiate on price or terms.

Long term tenants in place currently paying below market rent at $1200/M.

In the current market with the prices of homes being so high does it still make sense to be investing in real estate or to be accumulating cash and waiting to see where the market goes? 

This is not my favorite option as most real estate agents wouldn't know how to handle the marketing of a property with a tenant currently in it. 2) Find an investor friendly agent who might already have buyers looking for that type of property.

Whilst I run to get my real estate license for the MLS I wanted to get somewhat of a feel for the market, what better way to do that then ask someone who's already invested. 

I have been having issues recently with my PM software  TenantCloud not carrying my listing description over to all the marketing websites.

Now if I compare this to the stock market, for this case we start with 12k also but this time our investment give us a 6% return every year for 5 years.

(e.g. condition, location, size)2) The marketing / sales procedures are inadequate (e.g. no advertising, unresponsive manager)3) The asking rent is too highThe reasons a house won't sell quickly are similar.  

Quote from @Theresa Harris: I'd also tell the tenant who they tried to evict under false pretenses to leave a google review for the PM to warn others.Thanks for the idea about doing reviews, Hmm, unfortunately the tenant is upper 70's and doesn't do much online,   Part of the problem was that the tenant wanted to pay cash for rent every month, but the PM wanted the monthly payments online, 

Also, I love the Jacksonville market.
