Hi all, i've gotten the key to my condo in Subang Jaya for almost ten months already but i've yet to get any tenant.

I've given almost 20-30 agents to put it up for rental and only 6 tenants came to view.

At the time i got the unit, somewhere around July 2014, expected rental for the unit (fully furnished) was expected to be around Rm3.3k to Rm3.6k. I've even dropped it to as low as Rm3.1k now but i do not get any calls.

I know the target market is expats for this rate but i also have an option of renting the studio separately from the main unit. I will need to add a separate electric meter for this and i have not resorted to this plan as it will be a waste if i decide to move in later and use the studio + main unit.

Therefore, besides giving to agents to advertise, putting in condo community page and mudah.com, what other options do i have or what should i do? Initially i was a bit particular of renting only to families since it is fully furnished but i think i don't have much of a choice anymore.

Let me know what you think, thanks smile.gif

Hi all, i can still sustain, it's just that it's a waste leaving the unit empty when it fully furnished. The unit is actually priced higher now compared to when i bought it even for a bare unit.

It's 3r3b and close to 1500sq.

2-3 agents called over the the last few weeks, so lets see what happens. I've also dropped the rental a little bit more.

The thing is, should i continue following up with these agents? It seems like some of them just vanish over time but the last few that i met also admitted that the market is very challenging for them. One agent even hinted that some people offer them 1+1 month extra commission if they get someone to rent.
