Assistance Getting a Tenant

[Adam Sherwood]

Hello all,

I am looking for some assistance in getting a quality tenant into one of my units on this duplex. I have had posts up for the past 2 months and have gotten leads but no one across the finish line. A lot of people not even past viewing the property. I understand there needs to be patients but I am looking for any creative advertising ideas or support advertising. Im currently in Germany. 

Disclosure: this is not in any way an ad for the property. I am purely looking for assistance in getting it filled.

I think you started with the price a little high, there has been a lot of new supply of multifamily housing added in the Tempe area, so that has pushed prices down a little and made it more competitive, so you have to have a great listing to attract a quality tenant. Your pictures and write-up are okay, but could definitely be better; the pictures should be light and bright and have better angles to show off the home, especially the kitchen, and having clutter from a previous tenant in some of the pictures is not ideal, as well at the back yard should be picked up and neat for the picture. As far as the write-up you did good with describing local amenities and some lease terms, but I would give more lease terms and take out the part about who you think would be a good tenant, this could be a Fair Housing violation and it's just good practice to focus on the property's features not the ideal tenant unless you are talking about minimum income or credit qualifications. I'm a local rental property investor and a property manager, I live in Gilbert, so I'm pretty close to Tempe. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or if you want help.
