Re: Why wont my rental rent? (by Den):

May not help much now but here's what I do for rentals: 1. Advertise a long time in advance of the rental date - 6 to 9 mos. 2. List lower at a fair price regardless of the higher priced competition. 3. Require a written contract with 50% down and include the confirmation as part of the contract. Remaining 50% 30 days after contract. No surprises. 4. Add the renter to the reservation after receipt of full payment. 5. All money collected at least 120 days before rental. This allows time to exercise other options such as depositing the unit. 6. Use unit or deposit with Interval if not rented - pay attention to dates. 7. Only buy great high demand units you would use - all great locations in great seasons. 8. Satisfied renters - Be fair and responsive to renters. Make sure renters are happy, an occasional email is appreciated. Expect renters to call you for future needs.
