How do I fill rental apartment with quality tenants?

Posted

I purchased my first duplex and after a couple months of fixing it up, I’m ready to rent. I’ve placed the apartment on all the know rental sites, but I’m just not getting quality tenants. Granted, I’ve only had it on the market for 9 days, but I figured I would see someone come across who meets our minimum standards such as 600 FICO and 30 percent debt to income. It’s getting cold here in the Northeast and I only expect the rental market to slow more over the next few months.

Can someone who has been in a similar situation provided some advice? Should I bite the bullet and hand it to a property management company to fill? I’m not sure they would do much more than what I’m doing and it can get pretty costly.
