My mother has been a landlord for about 30 years. If the renter has been there less than 3 years, the turn-around is often quick. Fixes and repairs can be done quickly. Often with materials from places like Home Depot. When the renter has been there longer, sometimes fixes happen quickly and sometimes they don't. If there are repairs that need equipment or supplies to be ordered, they wlll do the walk-through, note the things that need to be fixed and get the orders going. They often don't start work until all of the equipment and supplies are in for the work.
My mother's team (she owns 6 rental units and she manages about 30 others) try to minimize the number of times they visit a property because they don't want to spend the time on driving back and forth to places and they have plenty of work. So, orders go in right after the walk-through, when everything shows up, they spend 1-3 days doing all the work and then the house goes back on the rental listings. She typically has new renters within 1-4 weeks of when it goes back on listings. |
This could not be more wrong. Evidence includes experience renting out three different homes over the past year - lines out the door - as well as multiple threads on here from frustrated prospective renters. |
Oh come on. Most of us are likely typing on our phone--typos (there is an obvious missing period in the middle of the long sentence at the end I suspect got your attention) and poor phrasing happens. I wouldn't care too much, but I also lived next to a vacant townhome for a few months that wasn't listed for rent or sale. It did raise my curiosity, wondering what was going on. |
Depends on location. My homes in the burbs had a ton of fast applicants. My units close in that appeal more to younger tenants who want to go out all the time, etc both sat for 2 months each this winter/spring |
