Rental listings, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Seems over time where you get the best candidates has changed.  I know I have changed the way I take care of my listings and my wife prefers a whole other way with her listings.  Happy wife, happy life, so I stay out of that.  Lol.  Have you changed the way and where you post your rentals?  Is there a place that you used to love that you now think is a dog?  An ugly one.  How has advertising your investments changed as you have invested for a longer period of time?

For flippers that are more veteran, how have you changed how you advertise a deal over how you did early on?  I started with some flipping but have not done that in years.  Won't say how many but I am older if not old.  Lol.

    Why not list on a bunch of resources instead of limiting yourself to just one? I use facebook and craigslist. Some people like rent.com. Get a billion leads then use a funnel and find the perfect candidate.

    That's why I ask.  For example, some people used to find Criagslist was enough, but now find it does not help at all and get leads from other places.  Some people get a lot of leads from Facebook, but I often hear the quality of leads is not the same as in other places.  Some used to like Apartments.com but now prefer Facebook.  Sort of heard many different stories from many different people, so was hoping to hear the experiences of different investors.

    I used mls - syndicated to multiple sites. Best lead came from an agent (I am one as well) and was def worth the months rent it cost.
