How long before move-in do tenants start making inquiries?
What does your rental cycle look like? Rental rates are increasing in my market and I'm experimenting with raising rent as I fill vacancies, but I'm wondering if I've reached the top. I have a tenant moving out at the end of October, but he gave me plenty of notice, so I listed the property in mid-September to be available on November 1. I'm not sure if I have the property priced too high ($100 more than the current rent) or if people who want to move on November 1 just aren't looking yet.
My question is, how far in advance of their anticipated move-in date do you expect prospective tenants to start making inquiries?
