I am in college rentals currently and have been lucky to have a connection to the athletic department where athletes come to me for off campus housing. However, once I move beyond this market where should I advertise my properties for rent? Zillow? How do you screen your tenants?
@Joseph Humphreys I use Facebook marketplace as my number one place to market properties. Second would be Zillow or Craig’s list for me. I use Zillow or Cozy to screen tenants and that will charge them $40 for an application and full screening.
I agree 100% with the previous post with the exception that I use only zillow and craigslist. Up until about 9 months ago, I used only craigslist and posted flyers on billboards outside supermarkets. I am super happy with zillow since the cost for one property is something like $9.95 per week and I usually get a very good tenant within a few days.
