9 months Vacant… help?

[Rhia Mckissic]

Hi everyone,

I live in NYC and purchased my grandparents' house in Baltimore, in Ednor Gardens (nice area close to MSU, Montebello Lake) July of 2023. I had a shady contractor and didn't complete renovations until November 2023. The renovations were necessary to pass the rental license inspection. By the time I got the rental license we were in the dead of winter. I've been using a freelance property manager who insists that the tenants are not coming because the "market is slow from now until the spring". Initially I left it completely in the PMs hands, but I recently posted the property on Avail.co and reached out to a realtor friend to post it on the MLS. It's been about 4 days and I haven't gotten any leads. Please advise.

FYI: It’s a 5 bedroom- 4 bath, I’m looking for a group of professional roommates or a family.
