Im in the game. Tips for filling vacancy
I closed on my first two properties at the end of October. One of which is a duplex and during me buying it one of the tenants moved out. I have blasted the property on Social Media and have for rent signs out. I have had a steady flow of calls but have only had one person show enough interest to walk through the property. The market I am in has been seriously hurt in recent months by the loss of oil field jobs. So, where do I go from here? At what point do I say, ok this isn't working. Any thoughts from more seasoned investors would be much appreciated.
