For a given shift in interest rates or financial strength, changes in the market value of long-term bonds will be much greater than price changes of short-term bonds. For example, a 1% increase in interest rates would cause the market price of a 3-year $10,000 bond to decline by around 3% or $300; whereas a $10,000 30-year bond would likely drop in price by around 20% or $2,000. (Note that bond market price changes don't much matter if you hold a bond to maturity.) [2018] - Larry Bates

We typically get $100-$150 more per month than a "normal" rental in our area because our properties are the best quality on the market. Test an ad out - if you don't get much response in the first 48 hours and you've created an interesting ad with great pictures, drop the rent quickly by at least $50. Typically, you will rent unit faster, have a larger tenant base to pick from, and have a better chance of retaining a tenant for a longer period of time if you have lower rent. [2013] - Julie Broad
