2 Research the market Conduct thorough market research. Look at similar properties in your area to understand pricing and features. Tools like real estate websites can help you compare rental prices and see what amenities attract tenants. If your property is priced above the market rate, consider adjusting your rent to be more competitive. 3 Refine marketing strategies If your property isn’t getting the attention it deserves, it may be time to rethink your marketing approach. High-quality photos and compelling descriptions can make a significant difference. Highlight the unique features and benefits that set your property apart. Review your online listing and consider marketing the property on multiple platforms to reach a broader audience. 4 Be flexible with lease terms Offering flexible lease options can attract a wider range of tenants. Review the length of the lease term offered and consider allowing pets — this might appeal to renters who otherwise wouldn’t consider your property. Additionally, offering incentives like lower move-in costs can entice potential tenants. 5 Hire a professional property manager Property management companies do a great job getting properties rented. The cost of a property manager will be quickly recovered from the rent. You will save time and money and experience less stress than attempting to rent the property by yourself. These recommendations, when properly implemented, can turn your situation around and allow you to achieve success with your real estate investment. Contact Crest Premier Properties for any concerns or questions about managing your rental property.

Consider factors like location, condition and amenities. Are there any maintenance issues that need addressing? Does the property have a good curb appeal? A property that appears neglected can deter potential tenants. Give the property a fresh look by investing in necessary repairs, a fresh coat of paint or minor upgrades that can enhance appeal.
