We mostly handle everything ourselves here, though sometimes we hire Eco Fresh cleaning in between guests.

But, I just don't have time to follow up with these leads, keep the marketing fresh, do the research, etc and it's something that I'm really not good at anyway (not good at following up with people).

Now I have my own growing brokerage and a fresh perspective where I see my broker job as my "day job" which I eventually want to quit so I can be a full time real estate investor.I bought my first condo (primary residence) last Feb, and next week I close on condo #2 (new primary residence).

Same neighborhood: fresh reno from a rehabber.

Sounds like you need to look for a fresh niche - what do the people need?

And Regus PLC is a shared-space company with leases on more traditional offices that has been in the business since the dotcom.There's a small field of startups fresh with cheap capital in similar manner, looking to shake up traditional office-leasing.

Loan: $163K, Appraised @ $235K a year ago, and I'll put about $7K into it before it sells (carpeted to laminate stairs, fresh paint, fresh grout in baths, new front door and rear sliding doors).Will pay 5% down on my new home and use the rest to begin real estate investing.I do corporate finance, and work for a huge company that probably made the phone you're using. 

I've been at many properties where the ads stated one thing and actual was something else.Listing: "4 actual bedrooms"Reality:  3 bedrooms + a very small extra room (it could be a bedroom if you were a cat)Listing: "Needs some TLC"Reality: Needs a complete gut jobListing: "Freshly painted"Reality: Where?

Being as fresh as I am here I have not met anyone personally yet.

If you are that far below market rent, then you should consider terminating this lease and starting fresh with a new tenant at market rate.
