Hello all! My current tenant will leave end of April. I plan to repipe the house (due to unqualified piping material used in the 80’s) after they are gone. I reached a few plumbers for estimate and they all sounded very busy and I feel it is very possible the project will not be done on schedule. Shall I start looking for tenant now or shall I wait until the project is fully complete? If I start looking now, I am not sure what to tell the applicant on when exactly they can move in. But if I start after the project is complete then I am afraid that the house might be empty for longer than desired. I wonder what would be the best course of action. Thanks!
Hi Kati - If I were in your shoes I would wait until the job is at least started and you have a committed end date from the plumber before advertising the property. Once a plumber has started, I haven't had many leave a job. The hard part has been getting them to start. Wishing you success!
I agree. Wait until the job is started before you list. The renting market is great for landlords right now. I listed one Thur afternoon and pulled the add 26 hours later.
