You have an opportunity to start with a clean slate and hopefully choose the type of marketing that provides the most effective and efficient use of your money and time.That being said, there are plenty of program marketers selling complete packages costing $8,000 a month and up, with a 12 month commitment.

Can try to repositionto Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620, many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

@David Roy GriffinBeen in the call center industry for 16 years holding different executive positions (even in the Philippines), so I can tell you this is not a good option for a number of reasons.1. 1,000 names will never bill enough to cover the call centers "hard costs" (training time, dev time, QA, overhead).

I know there is Airdna but it costs money. 

For a good duplex in Tosa or West Allis that is 15-20k including closing cost. 

And since Airbnb is becoming less and less cooperative with Hosts, the most recent issue (Airbnb stopped charging any cleaning fees on my bookings) cost me over $1000, so I was forced to drop OwnerRez.

OOS investing in low cost areas may work for a few, but likely won’t work for the majority.
