What determines if my property is a marketable Long Term Rental?
Once contact is made with VPM and an inspection has taken place, VPM will guide you in the correct direction as to how your property should be marketed to make the most of your investment. Various factors determine whether your property will be a success as a long term rental: location, amenities and any special features.

When a property is vacant, all charges are directed to the owner. During a tenancy, the tenant pays for all utilities, unless otherwise noted in the lease agreement.
