Discover the difference between renting out your apartment yourself and leasing it with the support of 168Property: faster leasing, higher occupancy and a professional service for both local and foreign investors.

A solution for leasing your apartment quickly

In an increasingly competitive rental market, leasing speed is what determines investment performance. The longer an apartment stays empty, the higher the opportunity cost and the more likely the investor is to lose a stable cash flow.

This article analyzes in detail:

• How fast you find tenants when leasing yourself vs. leasing with 168Property

• How 168Property optimizes marketing and tenant management

• Why so many local and foreign investors choose 168Property

Fast leasing – a vital factor in every investment

Why does leasing speed matter?

• Stable cash flow: an apartment renting for 20 million VND/month that sits empty for 2 months means an immediate loss of 40 million VND.
• Competitiveness: the serviced apartment market keeps growing and tenants have many options. If the owner does not respond quickly, tenants go to a competitor.
• Preserving asset value: apartments that are continuously occupied keep a better image and deteriorate less.

Current trends in finding and leasing apartments

• Tenants want to search fast and decide fast.
• Foreigners prefer renting through a reputable agency and avoid dealing directly with owners because of language and legal barriers.
• Vietnamese investors are also moving from self-management to professional services to save time.

Leasing on your own – common difficulties for investors

Finding tenants takes a long time

When leasing on their own, owners usually post listings on classified sites or social media. This leads to:

• Listings get buried quickly due to competition.
• Unprofessional photos and descriptions make tenants scroll past.
• No existing tenant network, so vacancies last longer.

Limited access to foreign tenants

• Language barriers and cultural differences.
• More complex contract and payment procedures.
• Limited knowledge of the legal requirements for renting to foreigners.

Risks in management and tenant care

• Unstable tenants who move out early.
• Slow maintenance and repairs that frustrate tenants.
• Lack of support services, making it hard to keep tenants long term.

The result: slow leasing, low occupancy and interrupted cash flow.

168Property’s solution – significantly faster leasing

A wide tenant network – leasing 2–3 times faster

168Property has an extensive tenant database, including:

• Local tenants
• International tenants from Japan, Korea, Singapore and Europe
• Companies looking for apartments for their expatriate staff

As a result, apartments usually find a tenant within 1–2 weeks – much faster than leasing on your own.

Professional marketing – helping tenants decide faster

• Apartment photos and videos are shot and edited by a professional team.
• Multi-channel advertising: website, social media and email marketing.
• Listings are translated into English & Japanese so foreign tenants can easily understand them.

A professional tenant care process

• 24/7 consultation with quick responses.
• Support with bilingual Vietnamese – English contracts.
• Regular maintenance and issue handling within 24 hours.

The result: satisfied tenants who stay longer, and high occupancy.
