During our congregational meeting in December we resolved to lease House #2 as quickly as possible for the longest term possible.   Yet it has not been leased and it is March, so what's the deal?

We have contracted with a management company and are offering the property for lease through that company.  Since the beginning of the year, we have had only one serious inquiry.  Part of the problem is the rental market.  According to move.com (www.move.com) there are 601 rental properties available in Rancho Cucamonga, 66 homes in our price range. 

But part of the problem was how our property was being offered.  Thanks to the great wortk of a few "SOTH secret shoppers" we have made some changes, including where we are advertising, what information is available to prospective renters, and price, which we have reduced.

We are hopeful that these changes will help find a qualified renter for the property.
