Why Your Rental Property Might Be Sitting Empty
Why Your Rental Property Might Be Sitting Empty
An extra month of vacancy can kill your return. Here's how our pricing approach gets Scottsdale rental properties leased quickly and at the right number.
Most owners want top dollar for their rental, and we understand that. The challenge is when the asking price is off, even by a little, the property sits empty, and that vacancy costs more than most owners realize.
Even one extra month of vacancy can seriously cut into your annual return. That's why our approach at Patriot Property Management is built around getting your property rented within three to four weeks of hitting the market.
How do we approach pricing differently from other property managers? A lot of property managers pull a number from Zillow and call it a day. We don't work that way. We pull comps from multiple sources to build a pricing strategy based on real-time market data, not estimates. When your property goes live, the price reflects what renters in Scottsdale are actually paying right now for comparable units, not what a website guesses it might be worth.
“Even one extra month of vacancy can completely kill your return, and we’re very sensitive to that.”
Weekly check-ins and fast adjustments. Once the property is on the market, we're watching it closely. We run weekly check-ins to track how many showings are coming in and whether those showings are converting to applications. If we're getting a lot of traffic and no applications, that tells us something. If we’re not getting showings, or we are getting a lot of showings but no one is applying, we adjust quickly so the property doesn’t sit.
The goal is always the same: hit the market at the right price, generate interest fast, and get a qualified tenant in place before vacancy starts eating into your investment.
Every week it sits empty is money you’re not getting back, and we’re very sensitive to that. We certainly want this investment to be a strong one for you.
