I'm having trouble finding a tenant for my rental
Dear BP community,
I recently bought and rehabbed my first rental, we left it in great shape and its ready to rent. The property is in a nice neighborhood and a good school district. But unfortunately, we are struggling to get a tenant; it has been in the market for 29 days (already more than the average for the area), and since then, every single day we have done a showing, but no one has applied yet.
I have one theory: The next-door neighbor decided to start a hobby of reconstructing old trucks, and one partially destroyed truck is sitting in their driveway next to the entrance of the property (there is no HOA to regulate the area). So when people visit the property, they might get turnoff by this sight.
Do you have any ideas of what can I do to help get a tenant?
If you are curious, here is a link to the property, and picture of the truck in the driveway.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
Best,
Pedro P.
