First Rental Property

[Michael Pace]

Hi everyone,

I have purchased my first rental about a month ago and have a realtor actively looking for tenants. We have having a lot of individuals that are illegal aliens interested in the property but when asked for any type of verification they go ghost. Just starting to get worried about getting someone into the rental.

Any tips or tricks to help the process? I believe the realtor has our best interest and is fielding the calls, she also helped us purchase the property.

Wanted some feedback

Thanks

Mike

Put together all the info and some good pics and post to Zillow.  That will in turn post to HotPads and Trulia.  It's free and I've had great success.  If you're a first time landlord, you need to be fielding the calls and learning the process in my opinion.  Learn what it takes to screen a good tenant, talk to them and get a feel for them, set expectations, etc.  You can also post on Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, etc.  There are tons of social media outlets for free to advertise your rental.
