Also, add to your listing description, use at your own risk. 

Or, we could discuss more deep here for others to learn from this.Here is the detail:First properties: a multi-family type with 5 bedrooms (number of bathrooms is not in description)Purchase price: 35kdownpayment (20%): $7kSecond Properties: Quadruplex property, description is too barely by "Not too late to own a piece of the Hill"Purchase price: 50kDownpayment (20%): 10k

I am experiencing a good number of inquiries with basic questions, the answers to which are laid out clearly in my listing description.

I tried zumper but had several problems in the past with listings so i stopped using them. apartments.com from what i read they sell your info and your get lots of spam emails but havent tried it yet so cant say if its true or not.I have been doing this for the past 15 or so years and craigslist was the go to, but times change and i need to adjust to the times. in the past 5 years craigslist has slowed down and i dont get as many inquiries so i am trying other sites but none seem to be worth it. i dont think its my listing as i have decent (not professional) pictures, the price is not too low that i attract low income and not too high that majority cant afford. im priced right in the middle for my area compared to other listings. the description lists the property info, pets allowed, drive time to shopping centers etc. basically i get better quality tenants from craigslist, but very little applicants.

There's so much crap and terrible descriptions on Amazon and elsewhere on the internet...I can't find a good answer anywhere.

The Burgh is actually a big geographic area, and has had it's ups and downs over the past decade with a generational swing and uptick in crime.

Redfin and other sites do not do a very good job of identifying this information.Hopefully the listing description will identify if it is legal for STR. 

Your geographic areas are too large.  

A lot of people are speaking very highly of the new Metro project coming to Clark-Fulton (if you look in any of the descriptions of the listings in the area, they all mention it).

i know it has a bad rep locally for crime and what not but it cant be the whole county. i've looked at it geographically and its location to DC and Baltimore makes me think it should be a commuter location, but i've just never had any interactions with the county at all and know nothing about it.
