Getting Tenants Faster

Marketing your rental property is very important. The goal is to get your money rolling in as quickly as possible. Even if you have hired a property manager, it does not hurt to do some advertising yourself. There are many free ways to accomplish this. Craigslist is one.
Craigslist is a great inexpensive way to publicize your rental. This ad will give you constant exposure. It is nationwide and used by millions of people. If you have properties in multiple states you can advertise all of them here.
When you write your ad make sure you use your property manager’s phone number, not yours. Your property manager probably knows more about the property than you do. Also, make sure your property is listed on the manger’s website if they have one.
Before you create the ad, make sure you have all that you need. Pictures of your home and the dimensions of various rooms will produce more interest and better results. The formation should be accurate and appealing. Words like remodeled, nice neighborhood are a few good words you can use. You may need to try several different adds to see what work best. Once you get your best add and flyer, your in business.
There are great ways to keep this simple. Create a more detailed flyer that you can automatically send out to prospective tenants. And be sure to save your ad, so it can be used over and over again.
Remember, it is important to screen the tenants. So be sure to let your property manager take over once you have found a prospect.
