I suppose I'll just wait until I find a good applicant and be grateful I won't have a vacancy this time next year. 

Qualified applicants that get priced out of rapidly improving neighborhoods will move into these areas but it seems like they aren’t biting.High quality, lower income applicants aren’t stupid and they won’t settle.If you think this area is a losing proposition, I would think about selling and not banking on hope.In regard to vacancy, I don’t consider any area that has average occupancy (economic and physical) below 95%You might pay more for a better area but time will treat you right and you’ll make a ton of money in equity over the long term.

That reality is unexpected vacancies.

Question: I am wondering what are some things you've done in the past at your short term rentals to fill the vacancies during your slow season?  

I have an off market opportunity. 30 pad trailer park, only 19 trailers currently on-site 17 with MTM tenants. Rent roll was ~$8K last month. They are looking to get $500K for the park. 16 of the 19 trailers are park ...

For example, your market is experiencing vacancies at 5% or 7%..

Optimize now to fill the vacancy quickly.

For example do you have a great w2 and can you afford to cover costs of a major repair or 3 months of vacancy?

Hi @Zhong Zhang I have used vacancy hacks over the years to get personal properties under 1% when turning tenants over. 3% increase depends on renewing or getting new tenants, when renewing tenants that's  a safe amount. 

Average rental rates, vacancies, competition, growth, appreciation, etc..Ive heard of scrolling through Zillow and collecting information by looking at properties for sale/rent but was wondering if there is a site where all of this information is easily accessible or any ideas for better ways to go about it.Thanks in advance!
