Advertising Your property and credit/criminal checks

[Bryan .]

I just wanted to pass along that I posted an ad on craigslist for my three bedroom SFR that will be ready in about thirty days. I received 12 responses in 48 hours. It appears to be a great way to advertise your property for free! Does anyone else have any luck with other cost effective ways to advertise?

Also, can you folks share how and where you can get a criminal background check and credit check inexpensively? My attorney can apparently get it done, but I am curious what you folks are paying for these services.

Thanks,
Bryan
