Time to prepare unit between renters

[John Vietmeyer]

Do you intentionally leave a periods of vacancy to clean and make repairs between tenants?   

My tenants are leaving May 31 after a year lease.  I have the place advertised for June 1 but am nervous about getting my current tenant out and the place cleaned before the new tenant moves in.

@John Vietmeyer I switched over to using my clause that allows me to do showing after I receive a 30 day move out notice. I pay departing tenant $10 to clean the place before showings and another $100 if we lease their place before they move out.

This incentive works like a charm. It also helps me make repairs before they move out. The departing tenant welcome the intrusion.

My pit crew is ready when they move because I have a 0 vacancy policy.

If you allow yourself down time, you'll surely get it.
