Marketing & Finding Reliable Tenants

Benjamin Sulka#5 House Hacking Contributor

Hey all! 

I plan to buy a multifamily home (likely a duplex but it depends on what kind of deal I can find) in the summer of 2023.


What advice does anyone have regarding marketing to tenants (Craigslist, Facebook, other) as well as tips for finding reliable tenants? 


I have done my fair share of reading and I am aware of the rules of thumb like monthly income should be 3x the rent for example but I would love to hear from people with advice from their experiences. 


Much appreciated,

Ben Sulka, aspiring investor

@Benjamin Sulka. The best way to find a reliable tenant is to invest in reliable areas and have a good product

If your unit is In great shape and you are in a good area good tenants will find you if you market the property on a few sites.
