What Renters ACTUALLY Want in 2026
In this episode of the Indy REI Podcast, Jeremy sits down with Director of Resident Relations, Kelsay Bolden, to discuss what renters are really looking for in 2026. As the rental market becomes more competitive, simply having an available property isn't enough. Today's renters expect clean, well-maintained homes, modern updates, and desirable amenities, and they're willing to keep searching until they find them. Jeremy and Kelsay break down the changing expectations of renters, why property presentation matters more than ever, and the costly mistakes that can lead to extended vacancies and lost cash flow for investors.
