Yes the title of this post is entirely true.
If a house is clean and everything works, it will rent. Period.
I have rented places in the worst area of the city next to drug dealers, prostitutes, massage parlors, you name it.
How?
Someone wanted to live there and I made the price comfortable for them (a deal they could not refuse and the Landlord could make a living on).
If a house is not renting after you have had traffic through it, you either have the price too high or something is physically wrong with the place. Call people back that have looked at the place and ask their honest opinion. Maybe 1 of 10 people will let you know that they didn’t like the fact that the cupboards in the kitchen were falling off the hinges or the yard was not cut and it looked rundown just because of that.
Don’t believe people that tell you a place is unrentable. If it is not renting, fix why people are not renting it, fix it fast and rent it fast.
