Wait to rent apt or start showing right away?
One of my tenants just gave 60 day notice they will be moving out mid Nov. I would need about 2 weeks to get the apartment rent ready. This means the apartment will be rent ready as of Dec 1. Winter/holiday time is not the best time to find a tenant but not impossible. The unit is in Bloomfield NJ. Should I listed the apt right away or wait till around mid October to list it and start showings. I ask because I don’t want the apt sitting for 2 months on the mls making prospective tenants think it’s (1) either over priced or (2) something is wrong with it by having so many days on the market. Would love you get peoples thoughts on this.
