    Rents Falling!

    First thing I noticed is that it is showing as two bedrooms. Anybody searching for three bedrooms would not even pull your house up on a search. Apart from that, the kitchen seems a bit light on, and could you consider maybe an Ikea free standing island or something similar to give more bench...

    Rents Falling!

    I have to agree with this. The house next door was empty for about six weeks recently with one open for inspection lasting 15 minutes that I was aware of. The PM doesn't care because it is not his rent that is no longer rolling in. Made me awfully glad that we find our own tenants because we can...

    Rents Falling!

One is increasing from $350 to $410 per week because $350 was low (for personal reasons), but we can no longer be "nice guys" and have to put our "business" hats on. We had an appraisal for $400 to $410 per week for this house and we did...
