Advertising Rental Properties on Facebook

[Angie B.]

I recently stumbled upon another great place to advertise a rental home- the local Facebook Swap & Shop (or Yard Sale) page.  They are also a great way to find out what's in demand in a specific area- once you join your local Swap & Shop groups, you can use the search feature to look through all recent posts with the word "rent" for example.  Then add a link to your property in the comments of those posts, as well as make your own post advertising it.  I just did this an hour ago and already have three responses.

What other ways do you all advertise your properties?  We have used the yard sign, craigslist, and postlets and/or rentlinx, all with good success -although our best tenants so far have found us through Zillow (by way of postlets/rentlinx of course).  I had posted previously on my own Facebook timeline, but since we don't rent to friends or family, it doesn't really work there.   The local Swap & Shop page is already working much better.
