Finding Renters during Covid 19

[Nicole Grenier]

Hi All - looking for a bit of input.

I own a 2 family home, fully renovated in a nice suburb.  My current tenants are moving out and I need to find new tenants. When I got these tenants 2 years ago, I received a lot of interest on the house. Numerous people wanted to walk through and applied.  Now that I am putting putting downstairs back on the market, I am not receiving any interest. I have not moved the price and in 2 weeks have only gotten 1 inquiry. 

Have others been finding this as well? Any advice or tactics for gaining interest, even during Covid?

Thank You,

Nicole

Hi @Nicole Grenier

If you haven't already, try face-book groups. Local town type of groups, or maybe there is a renter/landlord group for your area/county/region. I am currently doing some maintenance on one of my units, my girl friend in the meantime responded to a person who needed an apartment, and a lot of other would be renters jumped in and were asking about when the unit would be ready.
