How do you handle a long vacancy (2+ months)?

Jill Hutson
Posted

We have a few single family homes in Kansas City, in a nicer, brand new neighborhood (built 2022). When we initially bought the homes we were able to lease for $2800-$3200/ month. However we have struggled to rent the homes at that same rate and have come down over 20% on price. Vacancy has killed the cash flow. 

What would you say are the biggest factors when leasing a higher price home? Location? Time of year? Property manager reputation?
