Currently advertising our rental on Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, and Facebook Marketplace without any luck on good tenants. Can anyone recommend a good way to advertise an apartment in Enola/Harrisburg PA? Thank you
I have a friend who just started using Cozy and likes it so far. It's a platform that allows you to market, screen and collect rents if you are going the 'self-management' route. I have a couple of rentals that I am marketing right now and its tough to find qualified tenants. There seems to be so many folks out there with bad credit, medical bankruptcies and a number of other issues preventing them from qualifying. I'm getting lots of queries all day long and doing a decent amount of showings, so its definitely not from lack of interest.
How long has the property been listed? Can you post a link so we can look at the description and the pictures. If not, how many beds and baths and what is it listed at?
It is definitely easier to place someone in a property in the spring or summer than in the winter. I have found that if I want to rent more quickly in the winter months I have to be slightly under market rent unless the unity is really desirable. If you weigh the lower rent vs the month(s) of not getting rent it may make sense and it may not. I would think it should pick up in February and then definitely into March.
