may be, whether it’s renting out your property to tenants or finding a new neighborhood, bad things can happen and good people can get scammed or hurt. The same is true with tenants. As of this writing, the average credit score for an American citizen is 695. That means that the average person has a credit score that’s good enough to buy a house, good enough to buy a car, good enough to get a credit card, good enough to do just about anything that requires credit. Honestly, for the most part, tenants are good people—but not all are. You want to ensure you do end up with good tenants, and not risky ones. You want tenants who pay their rent on time, take care of your property, are easy to deal with, and won’t cause any major issues. What can you do to ensure you get the good tenants, and not the bad ones? First-class marketing is a start.
FIRST-CLASS MARKETING YOUR PROPERTY
Using first-class marketing for your property will bring in plenty of tenants. The better your marketing efforts, the more interested candidates you’ll attract, and the more you’ll have to pick from, allowing you to weed out the risky ones—the “bad apples”—and attracting the good tenants.
1. Post Your Home on All Websites
To give your rental property the most exposure possible, you’ll want to post ads on any and every single realty website, including the most popular ones, like Realtor.com, Zillow, and Trulia.
2. Write a Fantastic Ad
Think about it: What good is posting your ad to all these websites if your ad, well, stinks? You need to write a great advertisement
