Can anyone recommend any marketing content they used to generate more online interest resulting in a higher occupancy rate.

Then I'd say rent.One other reason why it may make more sense to own than just going beyond the numbers - the use of owner occupant financing.

The regulation specifically states that this exception may apply to a portion of a home used to furnish lodging to tourists or to long-term boarders such as students (if that portion is regularly available for occupancy by paying customers and the owner is not treated as using that portion as a residence during the tax year).

From our little bit of experience we found we can hold market rent + electric at our other properties we own.Based on the small amount of expirence I have, I am inclined to make an offer to the seller as such:Contingent on:1)All deferred maintenance completed or a $10,000 sellers credit directly for repairs and maintenance2)All units move in ready condition per buyer standardsIf sold at current (100%) occupancy we offer $285,000If sold at 50% tenant vancancy we offer $300,000If sold at 100% tenant vacancy we offer $315,000OR 100% sellers financing with a purchase price of $330,000You can see it is counter intuitive to pay more for a non performing asset, however we save eviction costs/ time while being in a strong position to advertise and fill the deal with properly screened tenants locked into our lease, paying at our desired terms.

They have good occupancy year round but the rates are significantly higher in the winter months.  

I have been selling in Dorchester as the market is at or above the last peak and owner-occupant buyers (rather than investors) are coming into the market which is typically a good "sell" indicator.  

Unless occupancy is constant, they aren't a great money maker anyway.

What was originally a single family house has had double the square footage added on and turned into a multi-family property.Some present as amazing deals....however I am unsure of the consequences.Some of the listings state the city requires a certificate of re-occupancy.

Occupants would be working class renters.  

It's like Spider-Man exploded in here.A small sampling of the back yard.I've seen worse hoarder houses but keep in mind, the occupants had already moved out.What does a hoarder house smell like?
