Milwaukee WI Single Family Rental

Juan Villegas

Posted

My wife and I purchased a single family home about 3 years ago and we are currently thinking about either selling the house @ market value or renting it out. I would love to begin using this as an investment property and having the benefits of doing so. We'd like to move closer to our workplaces and find an apartment alternative while our house rents. 

Questions to members:

What was the hardest part of renting a SFH?

How can I get the most rent out of the place?

Any other advice?

Thanks,

(Newbie) Juan

Any other advice?

Suggestion :  pick at least two different days for open house.

Do not go around showing property every time someone request 

a rental viewing at least not until you have one or two open houses.

Reason : My experiences rental open house saves on your personal schedule, 

                stress level, and car gas usages.
