One mistake I see often.
A tenant gives notice today.
The landlord waits until the tenant leaves before marketing.
By then you've already lost valuable time.
Marketing should start immediately
The landlords who get tenants fastest are usually not the cheapest.
They're the most prepared.
Clean house.
Working taps.
Fresh paint where necessary.
Ready for viewing anytime.
My advice to landlords:
Don't compete on rent alone.
Compete on cleanliness, maintenance, responsiveness and tenant experience.
Those are the things people remember.
Most homeowners can't tell a D12 from a D16 on site and that's costing them structural integrity.

Underrated life skill: Letting today be today. Stop dragging yesterday into it and stop borrowing stress from tomorrow. Handle what's in front of you. You'll be surprised how much lighter life feels when you carry one day at a time.

Just inspected 3 vacant 3BR apartments in Tudor, Mombasa today. Rental prices currently range from KSh 40,000–60,000, depending on condition and location.
Everyone talks about buying plots. Meanwhile, here in Mombasa, thousands of additional housing units are needed every year just to keep up with population growth. The real money is not always in land; sometimes it's in solving the rental housing shortage.
