@Victor Tofilski Zillow only shows 3 active rental in Pickney right now, so not a lot of competition.Given that, wouldn't worry about your pics and such - but, the advice given by others you should implement going forward.As others have also said, Nov-Feb is worse 4 months of the year to have a vacancy.- LESSON: don't allow leases to end during these months!

That is not a small thing.Banks are audited for “suspicious account activities” and a notice gets sent to the FBI.

A quick look at groups near Camp Pendleton shows plenty of activity from folks seeking housing.

There are a lot of active agents in Columbus on here.

Those meetups are a great way to soak up relevant info from other active investors.

I also want to be active in other rust-belt cities that are similar to Milwaukee and I want to be part of their eventual comeback: Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, St.

Again, I think from your posts that you are well ahead of many OOS investors actively building their portfolios who post on here. 

So this is a new one for me... Listing price is at 130k and agent mentioned that the seller has wiggle room to drop the price. However, there is a mortgage on it with about 80k left, is it even worth trying to still g...

In the meantime though, I'd try to just actively build your platform here on Bigger Pockets and just casually connect with people. 

I'd rather just invest in something that would gain value and get deductions through an active business - created for the purpose of tax deductions.
