What makes your unit the best?

Question

Hello, my names Andrew.

As I look for my first rental something that I don't understand/ worry about is in my area it seems like there is so many rentals on the market. Aside from lowering rent, How do you set your units up so people rent out your unit oppose to another one a block up. Is it better to already occupied rentals to avoid having to find someone?

So in my experience I do not like getting tenants already occupied in rentals, coming from my background I like to inspect and fix any issues before placing a "proper tenant" or you can risk losing a good tenant over some issues if they get out of hand. And it's usually more of a problem if your constantly working on a property with it occupied and a lot of times buying them with tenants especially long term ones you could be "leaving meat on the bones" or inheriting someone else's issues. You need to be well versed with the area your buying in or have a highly trusted property manager that does sells as well advise you. I always liked for my places to be slightly nicer than the others. Application processes and how the tenant feels about you as a person or your property manager and thier reputation can go a long ways also your interviewing them but they also are interviewing you remember that, nobody likes a slumlord. Dress properly speak with confidence treat them how you'd want to be treated. The little things go a long ways
