PLEASE HELP - Vacancy
Hi all. I bought my first property (3-unit house hack) earlier this month. I currently have a 3 bedroom unit that is vacant that I have been trying to fill for three weeks with very little success. I have had only two people visit the unit over 21 days and neither applied. I have this listed everywhere: FaceBook, Zillow, Apartments.com, etc.
This is starting to have a very negative affect on my mental health. I think about this all the time and I don't know what else I can do to get this unit filled. I can try lowering price, but if I do that then I will feel defeated as that would mean I over-estimated my potential rents. Based on comps I was seeing in the area I thought my rent number was fair. I'm reading that it takes most people a couple of weeks to fill a vacancy and I am starting to freak out. What can I do??
