Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Marketing, professional photos, and dialing in the rental amount are crucial, and we've noticed nicer units at better prices being leased out much faster (well yeah, duh...). 

Draft a list of FAQs and next steps in the application process... have the person showing the apt hand them out.Lastly, video tours can be helpful, was yours professionally done?

I've been involved in the Atlanta market both personally and professionally for about 10 years now and I couldn't be more thankful that I landed here.

Your local partner can help verify if the area really supports those rents long-term.Regarding school ratings, they’re important for single-family homes but may not be as critical for duplexes, which tend to attract a more diverse renter pool (young professionals, retirees, etc.).

When I used to be a tenant, my landlord had it in the lease that at the end of the lease for move out, the tenant has to hire a professional to clean the gutter, clean the fireplace, clean the carpet, etc.

My advice to you is to connect with someone who knows the market and is serious about there craft as a real estate professional!
