Starting out with a rental - Advice and critique on the property needed.

Isla Arshad
Posted

Hi friends!
I just got my first property and put it out for rent. I have 3 people contact me so far but no serious leads. The property is fairly new and well-kept and I am planning to not allow pets (I miss out on a lot of people but the property is also newer/is carpeted).

I was curious about the credit score requirements. Is anything less than 600 risky? Also, is it true that most tenants look out for properties in the summer because that is when their lease expires (more on average)?

Also, in your experience, is paying premium to Zillow or some other service worth it?

Here is the link to my Zillow post:

Do take a look and if you like to critique, you are most welcome!
