Closing on my 1st Rental in North Tonwanda, NY with Questions

Tuesday Goodband

Posted

I am currently closing on a property in North Tonawanda, NY the next step is to gain tenants for the property. I have an ideas as to how I am going to go about the process, but am interested to seeing what other property owners are doing for their tenant leads, websites to post the rental opening on, screening process, and important questions to ask interested tenants.

Questions:

What websites/places are recommended to post my rental property opening? 

Any tips on how to go about  creating the rental application, and analyzing their credit and background checks? 

Target Questions to ask inquiring tenants?

Congrats on the property!!!

I closed on my first 4 units last summer and used Craigslist to fill all the vacancies.  This in addition to a a legitimate for rent sign in the yard generated all the calls I could handle.  The forms, in addition to the process, came from a book that can be found at the link listed below.  It was and still is an invaluable resource.
