The city is not worth the hassle,hi crime low life attitudes destruction of property 3am phone calls from police not for me but the low prices 30 to 60 k average makes it attractive.

It'd make no sense given the lack of attractive offerings and the very limited number of potential clients.

Hi;I know that residential agents will typical work a neighborhood by sending postcards, knocking on doors, setting up a website, and doing everything they can to "own" a neighborhood.But how does a commercial agent attract business?

Anybody know a good strategy to position yourself online and attract deals....besides an expensive website?

These issues fall on the owner of the attraction, it is not reasonable to assume a landlord is to put a pool cover on when the last person gets out!

For this, I have to compare my condition or projected condition to competing rentals, how long an improvement will last, (Granite counter-tops versus an upgraded toilet paper holder) the trends in the market place, such as what tenants appear to be trending toward liking, how popular a particular item is, and wether I might get only the same rent as I would have, but possibly just get a better tenant.Those are all bottom-line, figuring out the net dollars concerns.2) How much time and aggravation it saves me:Here, I go beyond just how many net dollars in extra rent I'll collect, versus the cost of improving, and I consider how much extra time it takes me to wait another week to rent it, or possibly how much time I waste dealing with a "b" quality tenant, when for an extra $1,000 worth of upgrades, I might have attracted an "a."

True there is huge demand but if you are dictated by the government on what parts you can use for surgeries and they cut your pricing to the bone for volume it's not longer that attractive of a profession or many.

If you have the walls open you can make the electrical more useful and attractive to tenants or buyers.

It will be better than ever and will rent for more and be more attractive.3.

But if it's in a nice area and it's fixed up nicer, you should be able to get better folks and for a little more money.In general, not your situation specific, I'm huge on buying whatever will attract the best tenants.
