It’s A Really Bad Idea To Try Rent Your Home While You Still Live There…

…don’t get me wrong, I know exactly why people do it this way

Click Here to listen to todays podcast

but I am going to bet that the potential tenant is getting some mixed signals

its a real possibility that the owner will make the tenant uncomfortable

and its very likely the rental tour will turn into a home maintenance tour

and when the current owners life and possessions fill up the home

the tenant will feel that the owner is nowhere near ready to move out

most rental showings are fairly brief

and if the tenant likes the property

they will apply quickly and probably want to move in right away

which flies in the face of an owner that needs to pump the brakes

so that they have time to find a new place to live

and inevitably empty out the place and get it cleaned for the tenant

all in all, its a pretty clunky process most times

there is a better way to do this
