How to find tenants that are looking for a room to rent?
I am trying to rent out a room in my house. I tried posting a listing in zillow, but looks like zillow only allows to post listing if you are renting out the whole house.
Which websites do you usually use to advertise your single room listing? Where do people go to find rooms to rent usually?
Thanks in advance!
@Anup Dhakal: I have gotten the most luck by posting on Facebook groups. What kind of tenants are you looking to attract ? There are groups for people moving in, medical professionals etc.
I have had the best luck with Facebook marketplace too. If you present your place well in pictures and have a good description you should get a good amount of replies as people are always looking on there. I don't know if you just bought your house and are still in contact with your realtor but they can also be a great resource to help look for tenants. Good luck!
@Anup Dhakal Our property management software provides us with a free listing syndication feature which makes it really easy for us to list our rentals. We list to Apartments.com, Realtor.com, Zumper and Zillow. Facebook Marketplace works great too, but we've received several spammy leads from them in the past, so I just wanted you to be aware of that.
@Anup Dhakal
I rent 3 houses out by the room and post them for rent in fb marketplace. I fill my vacancies within 24 hours. I post a description and pics of the room and house.

Be as descriptive as possible and take really good pictures. Sell yourself and the home!

Is the room furnished? I rent out my furnished room (in my primary) on furnishedfinder.com and I know Airbnb allows furnished rooms as well. I'd also try sublet.com
Thanks everyone. Facebook marketplace and roomies.com worked out great for me.
