Reducing my vacany rate
I just bough my first condo in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. It's a newly built 3 bedroom, two bathroom condo that I'd like to rent out for about $2500 a month (slightly above market). I'm still in the process of closing. Any tips on how I can find a good tenant fast. I'm scared the price might be a big turnoff for prospective tenants. Should I use Craigslist/domu/apts.com or is using a leasing agent far more beneficial in a situation like this?
