I need to raise the rent for my Ft. Mac Condo. Anyone have a strong pulse on what`s happening with the rents right now?
Better yet, anyone working with someone other than a management company that does a good job for them up there? We only have one condo up there and can`t believe what we pay to simply have a cheque picked up.
I`ve learned to not simply trust the management companies opinion. They`re motivated to not have to show properties if they can avoid it so will keep the rent up to $200/mo low because it costs them more than the $20/mo they would get to have to go show it and re-rent for more.
By the way, the Calgary management company that we used (Hope Street) was a terrible experience. We ended up advertising and renting out our properties ourselves, found out the owner of the company was showing his own suites first and it cost us a lot of money to take back over managing our own properties even though we cancelled the contract due to their poor preformance.
