A week out from my first deal

[Jonathan Humphrey]

Hi Everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster. My wife and I are closing on our first rental property deal next week in Gilbert, AZ. I am nervous about finding tenants, but I assume that is normal for first deal. We are closing and I am putting in new flooring over days after. I am looking for advice on when to post the listing as open for applications. Should I wait till the flooring in complete to take new photos? Should I post now (before closing) with current listing photos? Do I post right after closing with current listing photos?

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,

Jonathan

@Brandon Sturgill thank you for your response. I am in the same general area. We have close friends that live in the same neighborhood of the rental we purchased. From speaking with a few different people and based on what I can find online, I am going in thinking it should be a larger tenant pool. Of course, this being my first one, I may be very wrong. I am mostly nervous due to my brother struggling to find tenants for his rental, but in another state. I know each market is different. Just first time jitters I hope.
