1844 My Pl

Rent estimate is about $1,650. I like to keep rent about 15-20% lower than average for certain reasons. There's only a few 1+ bedrooms in W. Palm for less than $1,395. The other 1,600+ apartments are all more expensive. Unit is in good condition and I want to keep it that way. Washer/dryer replaced a little more than a year ago. New kitchen faucet. Bathroom toilet recently repaired. A/C just repaired. One deck replaced about 3 years ago and just sealed. Other deck just replaced. New roof. New gutters. New interior paint last year. Nice quiet location within walking distance to Home Depot, Lowe's, Publix, and more. No need to submit an application online. I don't want to waste my time or money or that of potential tenants. The condo association charges at least $100 for their "application," but we won't jump through that hoop until the lease is signed. I do things differently than most property managers and try to be as expedient and cost effective as possible all around. Requirements: 1-year lease. Non smokers, credit at least 650, reserve savings of at least $7,000. Skype/zoom interview. Referral from previous rental, not current one. Tenants and pets need approval by the condo association. Any dogs need to be 25lbs or less. Commercial vehicles not allowed on the property per association rules. Move-in date June 1. Please do not ask for a tour unless you meet these requirements.
