I have t-shirts and hoodies and hats with the company name and logo on the front and back. Always on at the properties. I keep spares in my vehicles. --174.201.x.xxx

In your situation,especially if you meet the parents( I know not required) but adds a bit of trustworthiness. I know also that looks can be deceiving-so go with what you feel is right. Students may or may not care. I just want to see someone who is clean or the flip side-noticeably working. No one should show up in paint splattered/stained clothes unless you are already there working or called from another place working. --73.230.xx.xx

$50 on Vista Print can go a long way. --98.146.xxx.xxx

I wear a dress shirt and a tie every day. I really find no difference if I am in jeans and a polo. If your clean and the apartment is what they want, your in. It is all about the product. --24.123.x.xxx

business casual is good. logo caps will make me think you are a redneck part time LL --104.218.xxx.xxx

I rent to C tenants and mostly wear my construction clothes. No point in dressing to impress them. Instead presenting a blue collar image makes sense to me. I do have business cards and refer magnets w payment and emergency contact info. I present lease docs in a nice pocket folder. --66.87.xxx.xxx

I spend a lot of time in court so I ditch the tie and trade the shirt for a pullover depending on the messiness of the place I am going. --76.188.xxx.xx

Occasionally, when I want a little street cred, to come across as the down-in-the-trenches sort of landlord, I'll deliberately show up to someone's emergency wearing my grugy work clothes from whatever project I got pulled away from. :P I want to convey the image of "you're not the only person I deal with--- but I'm happy to stop what I'm doing and pay attention to your problem." Rather than them imagining I'm lounging on the couch, eating bon bons and watching soap operas, in between counting my incoming rent checks. :) --96.46.xxx.xx

However, these days - with the rooming house & low-end SFH, I project the image of a hard-working, "common" person that they can relate to - so everyday clothes work fine. An important accessory when at the rooming house is my sidearm in plain view. Not kidding. VA is an open carry state, and I have six large, street-wise men living there. Also, in the last week two of them have been bickering, and I'm not getting in the middle of that without a back-up plan. Also because I pick up the rent there, including cash. --68.10.xxx.x

I need to get one of those T-shirts that has a picture of a tie on it! --98.245.xx.xx

Thank you all!!! --172.251.xx.xxx

For showings I generally wear dress pants and a dress shirt, no tie. I think its important to provide a reasonably profession image. Deadbeat tenats are looking for the niave small landlord to fleece. --70.31.xx.xxx

Hats? No, unless it's a stetson. ;-) --173.19.x.xxx

I dress in clothes I would wear to go shopping at the supermarket. I am thinking that my applicants dress like that also and there is no need to make them feel uncomfortable by dressing up. Beware of tenants who come dressed for a night club or Sunday church and it's not Sunday. They are covering up something. Occasionally applicants will come from work in business suits. That's nice. --73.178.xxx.xx

Look professional with business casual clothes. --69.120.xxx.xx

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!!! --172.251.xx.xxx

I am not dirty and maintain a neat appearance. For Sunday showings I will wear jeans and comfortable shoes and a nicer tee shirt. --24.125.xxx.xxx

It's the beach. I show spaces wearing a casual dress and what are essentially fancy flip flops. He is the handyman and gets dirty at the drop of a hat, so it literally doesn't matter what we dress him in in the morning, it will be filthy by noon at best. But we try: every now and then I toss all the old ones and buy him new polo shirts and shorts with lots of pockets...all of which will have paint and stains on them after one wearing. --50.82.xxx.xx

Just yesterday I was operating a shovel in 94 degrees, wearing a torn tee shirt and too short shorts. Not a pretty sight, but I did not die of heat stroke. --98.122.x.xx

Slacks and a collared shirt is my ticket, and I think freshly ironed is important. That was what my doctor was wearing yesterday and he looked good. His clothes were wrinkle free, also it looked like he had a haircut the day before. There was no little beard growing on the back of his neck. And nice shoes, socks and a belt. --74.105.xxx.xxx

I dress the millionaire next store look. If I am working on a rental I may look almost homeless. Paint on the pants and shirt. (All I need to do is look at a can of paint and it is on my cloths.) If coming from 9 to 5 job then it is blue jeans and a pull over. --174.233.x.xxx
