rent rates: How long does it take to rent out a property? - 07/02/09 05:21 AM
Owners ask me this all the time. How long does it take to rent out a property? I started advertising a property last Thursday and today (one week later) I am moving tenants in. I cannot change the location therefore; my variables are property conditions and price.
