Here are some tips offered by a construction and property management company, TPM Builders Commercial Construction.
Survey TheMarket
Market surveys are important if you want to retain your tenants for a longer time period. If your rental charges are higher than the other apartments in your area,you are likely to lose your tenants as they would prefer an apartment with lower rental charges. Here your friendly and caring attitude towards your tenants will most probably fail to help you in tenant retention.
Market surveys also help you in knowing what facilities are being offered to tenants by other landlords in your area.

If you are planning to buy multiple apartments, try to buy them in the same building or in nearby buildings. Offer a discount voucher to the tenants who refer a new one.
