1. Renting a Fort Collins property during the off season.
A few recommendations for renting your property during the off season include pricing the property well for the market conditions, don’t overprice the property. Additionally, you’ll look into doing rent specials, perhaps even offering the first month’s rent at a discounted rate to attract prospective tenants and finally offering flexible showing situations, such as letting the tenant view the property by themselves. This will decrease the amount of scheduling conflicts between you and the tenant, especially on holidays.
