Hi, Im going to have a very large 8bedroom/10 bathroom home for rent. Im trying to figure out how to rent it out without having to pay a real estate agent, not rent to multiple roommates(which the city will not permit anyway, and find someone who can afford to pay for such a home. It this possible and if so, some pointers?
You can draw up your own rental agreement, but it still will cost you fees to do a background check, credit check, how much are you trying to rent it for?
Are you looking to do long term rental or short term (vacation rental)? That is a huge place and would be a very specialized renter you are looking for.
Is it by a college? are you in a desirable travel spot? Maybe it is better to go with short term rentals and use an agent since it is a higher mark up for short term than long term.
Hi Joe, yes, I have all the tools to qualify a tenant, run credit checks and already have the rental agreement. Its going to be listed for 15500 its a 3 story 11000 sq foot home. completely remodeled, beautiful home, but finding a tenant i think will be rather difficult without getting an agent, however Im going to try.
@PhxMike Im looking for a long term rental. The house is near a university, however the city does not allow for subletting so the idea of roommates is out of the question.
I know you are trying to avoid realtor fees but you need to find a realtor that deal in high in homes and most realtors will have clients that want to lease high in homes 12 months at a time. Be prepared to adjust the lease terms.
