Quote from @Saad D.:
@Alyssa Wrightthanks for sharing. That's helpful. Does that mean you're doing fully self serve showings? What city or cities do you do that in?
Once your unit is rented, where do you end up spending most of your time as an investor/owner?
So we only do it for vacant properties and for tenant-occupied properties, an agent always accompanies the prospectives through the home. We even made little signs to go up on the. door and on the kitchen to warn about fraud since it is more likely with self-guided showings. Right now, our rental listings are pretty centralized to the Pittsburgh area so everything is pretty close together!
I mainly handle the entirety of our leasing/marketing departments so since I'm able to cut the time I spend on showings in half, I'm finding a lot more time to reach out to new leads and form genuine connections with prospectives which really pays off when it's time to sign a lease!
I'd be happy to explain the process further as well or answer any other questions that you have!
