How to get renters into my home, lot's of contacts but can't clos
I've gotten about 30-40 contacts for a room rental but haven't been able to get a renter. What are some good tips to close the sale per say and get a renter into the house?
Details:
1) 3 rooms available for rent in a home
2) Master bedroom currently rented
3) Have gotten one person interested but his credit score is 629, seems like a redflag but no previous evictions seems lot's of student loans mainly
4) Rent on par with other rooms in location
5) listed for rent about for 2 weeks
6) Posted on truilla, hotpads, local newspaper, craigslist
7) Huntington beach, CA

Fareed, you take what you can get.
It's all about persistent follow up. You keep calling and texting the leads to see if you can set up a showing.
A lot of them will ignore your calls, but you gotta keep trying.
Real estate agents sometimes need to contact a seller 10-20x to get them to list a house. Same principle here for renters.
