Does every penny count?
My property is listed on several sites "For Lease".
But every inquiry I have gotten is asking if I can reduce the rent. Everyone one has a good reason why they can't afford it monthly. Bankruptcy, divorce , lost there job now catching up.
My question, do any of you reduce the monthly rent? I haven't had one person want to fill out the application without starting with a"But".

landlording is very easy and enjoyable if you apply these principles through the whole process...
- buy low
- buy a nice house. something that everyone WILL want to rent
- updated nicely
- update it correctly, do not cut corners
- take good pictures
- price correctly
- list between the 7th and 15th of the month
- u can bring it a little lower in a week or two, but wont have to if it's priced correctly
- have clear requirements
- do not compromise
