If you're a house builder developing new rental communities, you know the clock starts ticking as soon as construction ends. Every day a unit sits empty is lost income. The solution? Combine the power of AppFolio with immersive 3D virtual tours to lease faster, smarter, and more efficiently. 🚀
In this guide, we’ll show how builders can leverage 3D tours and AppFolio to pre-lease units, attract better renters, and eliminate friction in the leasing process. Whether you’re marketing single-family homes or multi-unit new builds, this is your unfair advantage.
New build rentals face a unique challenge: there’s no tenant history, no live showings early on, and potential renters may be wary of leasing sight unseen.
That’s why visual confidence matters.
