Out-of-town Property

How do you landlords out there fill a vacant property you own when it's out of town? No Realtors seem to want to deal with a listing unless it's a sale.

Do you just put a lockbox on the house and let people in and hope they don't steal the stove?

I know I'm not the first person to deal with this. Can't seem to get any answers.

    Thanks. The idea of Property Management companies dawned on me after I posted, but I didn't know before that they actually did the marketing part of the deal. Makes perfect sense. You'd think the Realtors I contacted would have suggested that. These props are out of state, though, so I'll be researching those areas.

  • NewKidinTown212th December, 2004

    In which city and state are the properties located?

  • olivetree14th December, 2004

    One in B'ham, AL, 4 in Baton Rouge, LA.

    Any input appreciated!
