to start we need to ensure the property is聽聽
[63]
clean both for pictures and throughout the time聽
you are showing the property i don't mean just聽聽
[68]
inside the rental the outside and common building聽
areas are also critical as they set the tone for聽聽
[73]
each showing if the prospective tenant arrives at聽
the property and sees the outside is not clean and聽聽
[79]
well maintained they may already have a negative聽
feeling about the property or your ability to聽聽
[84]
maintain it before even setting foot inside the聽
cleaning process should include decluttering if聽聽
[90]
other tenants have left things in the yard or聽
common areas please ask them to put those items聽聽
[95]
away decluttering will make the space feel larger聽
and well managed which are both good things in the聽聽
[100]
minds of most prospective renters i understand聽
that it may not be possible with current tenants聽聽
[106]
in place but you want to try if possible i also聽
let the current tenants know that if they can聽聽
[112]
keep the rental looking nice for showings we聽
should get it rented faster which will reduce聽聽
[116]
the number of showings and inconvenience to them聽
now that you've made it as nice as possible you'll聽聽
[121]
need to take pictures for the outside pictures聽
be sure it is a bright day you want your pictures聽聽
[126]
to appear bright and inviting for the interior聽
pictures be sure all the lights are on and the聽聽
[131]
drapes or blinds are completely open again we're聽
looking for bright open and inviting pictures聽聽
[138]
for the bathrooms be sure the toilet seats are聽
down and the counters are clean and clear as聽聽
[143]
possible be sure to also get pictures that include聽
all the appliances in the kitchen and the washer聽聽
[148]
dryer in the laundry room if there are any shared聽
building amenities such as a yard or parking area聽聽
[154]
i recommend taking pictures of those as well be聽
sure to take more pictures than you will need聽聽
[159]
so you can choose the best ones for the listing i聽
also highly recommend taking pictures and a video聽聽
[165]
between tenants when the unit is completely empty聽
clean and the paint is touched up you can then聽聽
[171]
use those pictures and video for years and you聽
won't need to go through the hassle of getting聽聽
[175]
new pictures each year third you will need to聽
research local rental rates to price your rental聽聽
[181]
i have a video on how to price your rental聽
which includes a detailed description of how聽聽
[185]
to determine your price for a quick estimate try聽
using rentalmeter.com and zillow price my rental聽聽
[192]
just remember these will give you an average聽
range based on similar sized units nearby聽聽
[197]
which may or may not be accurate for your unit my聽
pricing video goes significantly deeper and gives聽聽
[204]
a lot more detail to help you zero in on an聽
exact price to initially list your rental fourth聽聽
[210]
you'll need to create accounts on the聽
websites where you'll be listing the rental聽聽
[214]
i'll start by reiterating that i don't like to pay聽
for any listing sites so here are 10 free websites聽聽
[220]
i recommend setting up accounts on in order of聽
where i personally get the most qualified leads聽聽
[225]
from each year apartments.com which recently聽
bought cozy facebook avail turbo tenant聽聽
[233]
zumper rentable which was formerly adobo rental聽
ads rent barry real rentals and rent digs i have聽聽
[243]
listed the website addresses in the description聽
below this video for you to copy if you'd like聽聽
[248]
i'm sure you've noticed that i didn't include聽
zillow which owns trulia and hot pads zillow聽聽
[254]
is also in my opinion the best rental site in聽
terms of generating the most qualified leads聽聽
[259]
however they charge 9.99 a week so they didn't聽
make my free list if you have never listed a聽聽
[265]
rental on zillow you do get one free listing there聽
so definitely take advantage of that when you go聽聽
[271]
to list it again next year or if you have another聽
property zillow will charge 9.99 per week so i聽聽
[277]
don't advise anyone to start with zillow until聽
you have already listed with all the free sites聽聽
[282]
and haven't been able to rent it of course聽
that may be due to your price being too high聽聽
[287]
but you should add zillow if you think you're聽
priced right and you aren't getting it rented聽聽
[291]
now that you have an active account at these sites聽
you'll need to create the listing when you create聽聽
[296]
a listing you need to be aware that you can't be聽
discriminatory you can't say that you don't allow聽聽
[302]
kids or anything to do with age race or anything聽
similar what you can say is that is bright open聽聽
[309]
updated cute high ceilings ceiling fans gourmet聽
or stainless steel appliances granite countertops聽聽
[315]
central air parking large yard or anything like聽
that you can say what pets are allowed or not聽聽
[321]
generally the pictures will speak for themselves聽
but you want to highlight the nicer things聽聽
[325]
about the property be sure to share common area聽
amenities such as a bike room or guest parking聽聽
[331]
include what utilities are paid for by the聽
tenant versus the landlord you should also聽聽
[335]
include the terms such as the length of the lease聽
security deposit or move-in fee and if there's an聽聽
[341]
application fee how much also be sure to say when聽
the rental is available of course you'll also聽聽
[347]
want to include your pictures in the listing i聽
personally place the exterior photo first followed聽聽
[352]
by the kitchen living room dining room bathrooms聽
bedrooms laundry parking and any other common area聽聽
[358]
photos last you can copy and paste your listing聽
to each website for the posting and hopefully聽聽
[364]
you'll get a bunch of leads be prepared to get聽
a lot of leads from people who clearly have not聽聽
[369]
read the listing anecdotally i get the most聽
unqualified leads from facebook and the best free聽聽
[376]
leads usually come from apartments.com avail turbo聽
tenant and zumber zillow has the best paid leads i聽聽
[384]
have found that it will save you a lot of time by聽
creating a standard response for any lead you get聽聽
[389]
and you can send it in response to every inquiry聽
to screen the leads in this email response i say聽聽
[396]

for seventeen hundred dollars it is available聽
for a june first move-in cats are allowed with聽聽
[405]
a monthly pet fee but dogs are not we require a聽
credit score of 700 or better or a cosigner that聽聽
[411]
meets the credit requirement if you are interested聽
in setting up an appointment to view the property聽聽
[416]
please let me know your availability or i might聽
state a specific time i am available to show the聽聽
[420]
unit i have found this really narrows down the聽
showings to people who are actually interested聽聽
[425]
and qualified to rent your listing i also聽
recommend adding a yard sign and emailing聽聽
[431]
your other tenants to see if they know of聽
