Hi Connie,In addition to Zillow, here are a few other platforms that have worked well for marketing long-term single-family rentals:Apartments.com (which also syndicates to sites like ForRent.com and ApartmentFinder)Realtor.comHotPads (owned by Zillow, but sometimes gets separate traffic)Craigslist (still effective in many markets—just be mindful of scams)Facebook Marketplace and local Facebook rental groupsAvail or TurboTenant – free or low-cost platforms that also syndicate to multiple rental sitesAlso, if you're in an area with strong local demand, a simple yard sign can still attract quality tenants.Hope that helps—and best of luck filling your vacancy!

So there seem to be some areas where there is less MTR traffic and more competition for renters.

@Juan Carlos Anzola Hey Juan Carlos, within 3 hours of Weston, your best STR markets right now are Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami (strong demand but higher entry cost), and Orlando/Kissimmee (theme park traffic, consistent bookings).

I live on a very popular named lake here in MN, but it get's so packed with water traffic that it feels really small.

Another Sweet spot is a small building or ground floor condo on main street usa with a ton of foot traffic.

If you want fast traction on a rental in the DFW area, I’d hit these right away:Zillow / Trulia / HotPads – Zillow syndicates out to multiple sites, and that’s where a huge chunk of renters start.Apartments.com – Even if it’s a single-family, it gets a lot of traffic in Dallas.Facebook Marketplace & Local FB Groups – Tons of local renters search here, and it’s free.

PPC drives immediate traffic and conversions. 

Here’s the breakdown 👇🏗️ Home Builder Confidence Reaches Highest Level Since AprilBuilder sentiment jumped 5 points to 37 in October, according to the National Association of Home Builders — the highest reading since April and a welcome change after months of stagnation.All three index components improved:Buyer traffic: up to 25 (+4 points)Current sales: up to 38 (+4 points)Future sales: jumped above 50 for the first time since January📊 Bottom line: While we’re still below the 50 mark that signals true expansion, this is a big step in the right direction.

I manage several STRs, and the biggest recurring issue we see is with dining chairs, sofas, and coffee tables, those tend to wear out or break the fastest, especially in high-traffic listings.
