Trouble renting house in Garner, NC
Looking to rent a house in Garner, NC. 3 Bed, 2.5 Bath, 1560 sq ft. I've hired a property management company to find a tenant. This is because it's a 40 minute drive, and I do not have time to screen and meet for showings, with my full time job. With them just charging half of 1 months rent, it's a good trade off for me.
However, I will say that the place is not seeming to have success in renting. The rent price is $1250, which is fair according to rentometer.com as well as what the property management company says. In fear it will still remain vacant in August, I've lowered it to $1225. I really thought this time of year, I wouldn't have a problem finding a tenant. However, there hasn't been a ton of applicants, and every applicant has had red flags. Lack of income, or a history of evictions.
Any suggestions on what could help this situation are appreciated.
