Are you looking for reliable tenants for your rental property investments? There are a variety of methods you can use to find the right tenants for your property. Traditional offline methods such as putting up a “For Rent” sign, holding an open house, and word of mouth can be effective. You can also use online resources such as Apartment List and Zumper to generate leads. When selecting tenants, it is important to set minimum acceptable standards.
You should also conduct a credit report and background check, and interview potential tenants in person. Apartment List adds verified badges to rental listings, which lets tenants know that the ad is trustworthy and reduces the chances of being scammed online. Zumper has several features that can help landlords generate leads at all times of the year, which can be especially useful during the slower months. It also has filtering options not only for tenants, but also for landlords.
If you need tenants to have a minimum credit score or a monthly income, you can enter that information into their system. Then, they'll introduce you to potential tenants who already meet your criteria, reducing the time spent pre-selecting applicants. In addition to being published on Zumper, your ad will also be published on Padmapper.
