Huge LA rental near USC - Best Listing Website\Strategy

[Lauren A.]

Hello BP- I own quite a few rentals but have never experienced trouble finding renters fast - especially in this hot LA market. I have a 4 bedroom rental that I am targeting to low income families (section 8 would be preferable). I have had this apartment listed for 2 weeks but still haven't found a serious renter!! We updated the tile in the kitchen and made various renovations. I am puzzled as to why this apt isn't selling fast... it's priced at $2300/m and is 2000 square feet. It's not in a good part of town but even so, renters are in abundance over here (near USC). Does anyone have any ideas where i can market this unit? I tried Craigslist and GoSection8.com already.... Thanks!

I suggest contacting some of your community housing agencies. If you are open to having mental health clients who have section 8, I can get you a list of housing liaisons that work for LA County Dept. of mental Health.  i work for DMH and we have an entire program dedicated to helping our clients with housing and supportive services.  There are also community agencies that help Section 8 voucher  holders find housing. Two off the top of my head are Long Beach Multiservice Center and Harbor Interfaith in San pedro.  PM me if you want more info.  Good luck
