Agent Trying to Find Rentals

[Harry Allman]

Hi,

I recently started working as a real estate agent in Rockland County, New York and I REALLY want to succeed. I have a few friends and clients looking for rentals. Unfortunately, the MLS and Craigslist don't have that many choices available in my/their area. Does anyone know where else I can look to find rentals?

Also, I'm assuming if it's a rental apartment building (as opposed to CO-OP and CONDO), there's no commission involved?

I was thinking about looking in the classifieds of local papers but how can I tell if it's an illegal basement apartment vs. a duplex or legal apartment?

Thank you!
