Income property can have very stable, respectful and reliable tenants. Chattanooga, TN

Yes, that’s right! It all depends on product, location and good tenant screening. If you don’t have all three, your vacancy rate will be elevated. Let’s talk about product first. We recommend to our students that they furnish their properties with clean serviceable items, new linens and art work on the walls. What you are creating is an environment that is very agreeable to the tenant, one that not only the tenant will look forward to coming home to, but also one, through pictures on flyers, web sites and word of mouth, will draw new inquires. We are all for building and keeping a pipeline.

Lots of furnished rooms for rent are not clean and contain aged, thread bear chairs, sofas, and soiled mattresses. Would you want to stay any longer than you had to in a place that does not support a good sense of self-esteem? Nicely furnished rooms engender good paying tenants, who stay for extended periods.

Our preferred tenant populations generally do not have their own transportation so proximity to public transportation is necessity.

Key to this equation within our program is good tenant screening, which strangely enough does not include credit or traditional background checks. Our tenants are referred to us, so we learn about them and their history though direct questioning of people who are familiar with each possible tenant individually. We learn of personal background information and work experience. This type of screening done systematically will produce good paying tenants who stay for extended periods creating a stable house.

Windows are only as good as the window treatments.

Even the best, brightest windows will be hampered by dark and dingy window treatments. So, for a home to show well, make certain the window treatments are a strength, not a weakness.

Month's end

The end of the month is very busy for most title companies. So, make sure they have your closing scheduled well in advance.

Otherwise, the closing could be pushed to the beginning of the next month, thereby increasing closing costs.
