Finding a tenant early (during reno)
Was curious about peoples opinion on finding a tenant while we are still renovating. Just closed on a property at the end of January and have been working on it since. I am 100% confident that work will be complete by April 1.
Can I go ahead and start looking for a tenant? Show it as-is for now and just let them know it will be complete? Just don't want to have to pay a second months mortgage if I can avoid it. I really think I'll be done in 1.5 to 2 weeks, but not sure if that will give me enough time to find a good tenant that needs short notice move in.
Related question, how long does it generally take you to find a tenant? When do you start?
