I recently just got my first investment property in the Independence, MO. It has been around 2 weeks on the market for rent.

I am wondering on average how many days your property were vacant before rented out?

Thanks,

Hello, 

Did you get this rented? Average time on the market depends greatly on the season, condition, price and location of your property. Typically, winter months are the longest and your lease should reflect that. All of the leases that I am signing now will expire in spring/summer of 2023. I rent a home in about a week, currently. In the summer, I will rent properties without them even going live for showings. 
What does your home look like? A, B, or C property? Does it appear clean, fresh and inviting or something else. Kitchens sell the house, in my opinion. Does the condition reflect the price of the home? Are you getting lots of views but not applications? No showings or interest at all? That tells you a lot. Knowing how to interpret all of the above, can let you know what you need to do to get it rented.
