Feedback on linsting not getting rented
Hi everyone
I am looking for some suggestions from the community about a rental i have listed near Seattle at the beginning of October with no luck renting it out.
https://www.trulia.com/rental/4036751467-12023-100...
It's been listed on Zillow, Trulia, Apartments.com and Craig's List for almost a month and is priced very reasonably for that area.
So far it's been getting lots of views and but only 10 people contacted, 3 attended a showing and zero submited an application.
Any feedback on the listing? Should i change/improve something?
Will painting the kitchen cabinet help at all?
Looking forward for your comments.
Thanks
Asaf

I would look at the credit score requirement. Why 650? That is higher than the minimum standard to purchase a home.
Personally, some of my best renters have been people that have messed up their credit but have good paying jobs. I know they have the money and with a credit rating of 500 they definitely are not going to be buying a house any time soon.
