Do you own one or more rental properties in Southern California and are concerned about filling rental properties fast? If so, you’ve come to the right place!

Just about every owner is concerned about filling vacancies fast. When their rental properties are unoccupied, this means that their expenses will increase until they get those vacancies filled.

Thankfully, filling vacancies fast is easy if you follow these tips.

Tip #1 – Talk with You’re “A Rated” Tenants

Let’s say that you have one or more “A Rated” tenants who have always paid their rents on time and have never given you any problems.

One, time-tested way to fill your vacancies fast, that many San Diego Property Management companies will agree on is to speak with your current tenants and asking them if they have any friends, family or co-workers who may be looking for housing.

There’s a good chance that they could hang out with people of similar temperaments as them who would also be perfect tenants for you.

Tip #2 – Promote Your Rental’s Location

Although you may be promoting how many bedrooms, bathrooms, or amenities your rental property currently has, you should also be promoting where your rental is located as well because this will also attract people who are interested in the benefits of living in your area.

Examples:

  • Walkable neighborhood.
  • Close to schools.
  • Close to public transit.
  • Great restaurants nearby.
  • Excellent restaurants are within driving distance.

Tip #3 – Stage Your Rental Property Before Taking Pictures

Last of all, but most important, another great thing that you can do to attract more renters to your rental property is by staging each room in your rental before taking pictures because, those staged pictures will show potential tenants how the rooms in your property can be used rather than presenting them with pictures of rooms with well-vacuumed carpeting.
