Thankfully an easy fix. Rest of house looks pretty good.

I hope that’s not the price to stay for the area and size you get

This is probably just for them to show up, this is happening quite a bit from what i hear. Rental market is so fucked right now

I dont blame them.

My biggest gear grinder when i was screening tenants was no shows for viewings. I'd organize viewings for the next day (so less than 24 hours in advance), told people if they couldn't make it for whatever reason to just text/call me and I still had >50% no shows. Such a pain in the dick when you have to hang out waiting for people, only for nobody to ever show up.

The best part of being a landlord is when you sell and no longer are a landlord.

Yup. Making covid appointments was such a waste of my time.
Next time I have to find a new tenant it'll be "Open house 1-4pm. Come then or never"

No "art" room = no sale!

[killramos]

An art room is something you would want to personalize anyway

LMAO. So true.

How do you know what happiness is if you never been sad/mad?

[killramos]

I’ll watch the movie thanks

I think the secret to being a landlord long-term is not giving a single shit about the property or tenant's quality of life.

More blue houses

https://realtor.ca/real-estate/24646...alsharelisting

THats not as bad as the one with blue baseboards and trim. But the lack of filler pieces on the side of the cabinets in the dining nook does rub me the wrong way

[TomcoPDR]

Agree. Easier to fit than the other blue one for sure. Clean layout.

I’ve always done something along these lines… one day, 15-30min appointment blocks, the end. Gives a sense of urgency to potential tenants too when the appointments overlap “by accident”

This is exactly how I've been doing it for many years now, for the people that are genuinely interested they will shuffle around their schedules so they can come to the showing. And I also get to do a quick side-by-side comparison of tenants as well which usually helps me filter down to a select few and most are ready to give a deposit on the spot when they see other interested tenants walking through.

Appt blocks "for covid" is what fucked me. Spending 4 hours there for 8 appts, of which only 3 showed up, and it's always the first and last people are the only ones on time.
There's the no-call-no-shows, and the ones that text at 2:10 saying they're 30min late for their 2:00pm. Not sure which is worse...
