Hi Chad,Will the unit and the overall curb appeal draw market rent payers, or is it discounted due to some reason.If you raise and they decline, they will move out, and you will have to pay to "Turn the Unit" and cover the mortgage while it's empty.How long are comparable/competitors units setting unrented for.How much will the turn cost.How much will it cost to make the unit from it's present state to a state that will attract market rent in the time comparables attract it.Will you be the labor 100%, because in some areas people say this type of labor is back scheduled, meaning turn delays.

We have main attractions all over the city so you'll have plenty of locations to choose from!

Are competitors fully leased or are they offering discounts and specials to attract tenants? 

Even tbe quality of property makes a difference Lower income can be challenging because they are paycheck to paycheck, might not have technology to pay online, or if it's a bad area might attract bad people.

This means you may not be able to command higher rents, but the chances of attracting higher quality tenants will increase.

I do understand "smokers rights" but feel their rights end where they infringe on my (or the future tenants) rights to breathe clean air.

It is very frustrating and I was wondering if anyone has any feedback on what may be causing this unqualified applicant pool coming to my property and if there is anything I can do to attract more qualified prospects.

Schools like NYU and Columbia have robust programs that have been around since forever and therefore attract the "big guys" to their on-campus recruiting sessions.

Large insurance policies also can (perversely) *attract* lawsuits, since the plaintiff lawyer knows he'll have someone to pay out a claim if he wins.

(Fast food places are even offering sign-on bonuses to attract workers)I have looked through these forums already and found some related discussion about notifying tenants for an upcoming disaster or using the SBA loan to help with repairs, but nothing about setting yourself and your property up for success in a known disaster area.
