I decline with a polite - thank you for applying; however, I selected someone else.

Just the community showing some early signs of decline worries me.

Hi Chad,Will the unit and the overall curb appeal draw market rent payers, or is it discounted due to some reason.If you raise and they decline, they will move out, and you will have to pay to "Turn the Unit" and cover the mortgage while it's empty.How long are comparable/competitors units setting unrented for.How much will the turn cost.How much will it cost to make the unit from it's present state to a state that will attract market rent in the time comparables attract it.Will you be the labor 100%, because in some areas people say this type of labor is back scheduled, meaning turn delays.

That said, there was a recent article that interest in the MBA is on the decline in the WSJ.https://www.wsj.com/articles/m-b-a-applications-ke...

Suddently, you're stuck with a property that's not cashflowing AND not appreciating in value -- or in the worst-case scenario -- losing money every month and declining in value.So I think the best advice is to focus on properties that would cashflow from the start and not bank on appreciation, at least not with a near-term time horizon. 

I declined.  

Not sure exactly how much Tybee contributed to that number, but Tybee is more seasonal as it is a beach location.2)Yes, both sides are STR.3)I am averaging $4815.702 so far since starting in March, but am expecting some kind of decline as the season is coming to a close but not sure how much.4) If it were a long term rental I think it would make anywhere from 3-4000 a month.

Hi @Joseph ODonovan - as long as your reason for declining does not violate FHA as a protected class, then yes (but please proceed with caution; as Catherine has carefully noted above you have to be super careful that they do or do not meet clearly outlined qualifications that you've set for your rental - and if what others have said is true about income being added as a protected class in Philly, then you have to keep it open to those with Sec. 8 vouchers; the sec. 8 process is lengthy too).
