In South-East Queensland we are continuing to see incredibly tights vacancy rates and an oversupply of tenants. We get it, it’s hard at the moment, and we wish we could help everyone but unfortunately there’s a limited amount of houses and only the best applications get the opportunity to sign a lease…however, there are some things you can do to help make your application stand out in a crowded market. In this episode the Hot Property Podcast, Property Manager, Lachlan Lowe, and Director, Jacob Carlile, sit down and discuss the insider tips on how to get approved for a rental fast and how to put your best foot forward.
