posted over 2 years agoI've used craigslist to advertise my soon to be vacant unit....hopefully tenants move out...gave them 30 days notice for their MTM lease (long story). Where else can I advertise? this unit is not in a high end place, so I will not pay $100 to advertise in some of these online rip off websites. I even doubt the people who would want to live in this location would search in those places. I know about the Housing Council but most of the people who use their listings are on DSS/Sec. 8 and i am not willing to rent to that group. I live in one of the units in the 2-story Duplex. Rochester, NY Landlords/investors, how have you managed to find renters? I appreciate your feedback.
Thank you, Meg

replied over 2 years ago@Meg K. Absolutely keep posting to craigslist. But the last round of vacancies I had I experimented with Rent Rochester and Postlets as well.
Rent Rochester was $35/apartment for a 30 day listing, and while I got a few leads, it certainly wasn't worth it.
Postlets on the other hand, was a winner. The Postlets listing got syndicated on Trulia and Zillow and I was surprised at how many leads I got. Solid leads too. 2 of the 3 vacancies I had were filled from leads generated with Postlets. Boom.

replied over 2 years agoPostlets is pretty good. Just be aware that they no longer syndicate to any of the sites owned by Move.com (Realtor.com, primarily).. They're having a bit of a spat.
