Filling rental property vacancy

[Jordan Harrill]

I am currently waiting for my first rental property out of state to be filled with a tenant. I am anxious to get it filled but know these things take time. I have my property manager sending me updates weekly with how many showings they have done on the property. To be specific , it’s a sfr , 2 bed 1 bath in Indianapolis. As Covid continues to be a thing and slow us down, I know that impacts the speed at which in-person showings can be done. So my question is while I wait for my property management to do their thing and market my property, what do I do? I feel like I need to be doing something , I’m not the type of person to sit around and wait, but it seems like that’s exactly what I need to do seeing as I’m thousands of miles away. Alas, has anyone else had this issue before? Guess I’m just anxious and excited, or possibly scared, that no one will apply. Love to hear people’s thoughts and what they did while they waited for their first property to be filled with a tenant.

Thanks! Cheers!
