Distant Owners' Guide: Simple Steps to Find the Best Renters

Hey, distant owners! We know it's not always easy to find great renters when you're miles away from your property. But with a few smart steps, you can make the process smoother and more successful. Here's a simple guide just for you.
1. Know What You Want Before you start. Make a list of what you want in a renter. Think about things like:
- On-time payments
- Good rental history
- No pets (or maybe you're pet-friendly!)
- Non-smoker
2. Use a Digital System A tool like "Quick Check" can be a game-changer. It checks a renter's past and tells you if they've been good with other properties. It's like a background check for renters!
3. Advertise Online Most people look for homes online nowadays. Use websites or apps where people search for rentals. Good pictures and a clear description can make your property stand out.
4. Offer Virtual Tours Since you can't always be there to show the property, offer virtual tours. This way, potential renters can see the place without you being there.
5. Check References Always ask for and check references. Past landlords can tell you if the renter was good or caused problems.
6. Have Clear Communication Set up a way for renters to reach out with questions. This could be through email, phone, or a digital portal. Clear communication can prevent many problems.
7. Use Online Payments Make it easy for renters to pay. Online payments mean you get your money quickly, and there's a record of every payment.
Being far from your property doesn't mean you can't find amazing renters. With these steps and tools like "Quick Check," you'll be on your way to rental success.
