Advice on marketing my rental

Hello everyone,

Looking for advice on what I can do differently/improve to get my house rented.

It's a SFH in Cibolo, TX (Suburs of San Antonio), I have it posted on Zillow, Craigslist, Facebook, and even around my workplace (military base), but I've only gotten 5 inquiries but no solid interest.

I’m starting to think that the price might be too high...

What do you suggest?

Thanks everyone!

Hi @Daniel A Lee Kim,

...my posts keep being removed for self promotion... a bit unsure why, but hopefully this posts this time as I'm trying to be helpful!

It is a beautiful property in a great neighborhood! However, the price is higher compared to others in the area. I am linking a property similar to yours just for one comparison below. My advice would be to offer it as furnished for $1800, or unfurnished for $1600-$1650. Lowering the price a bit to lease the property is a better options than having it sit vacant and losing cash flow. Another option since you are open to keeping it furnished would be an AIRBNB/vacation rental. Additionally, changing the photos up a bit can help to refresh the listing, and I always do a video walkthrough of rental properties (just on a smartphone is fine), so renters can see the property and get a better sense of if they are interested/if not. Facebook Marketplace is great for rental properties as well. The last suggestion would be having an agent market it for you on the MLS as it does bump up the exposure a lot.
