Besides Craigslist & Postlets, Which Websites are Best to advertise "For Rent"

[Renee G.]

Hello BP'ers.  My first post here, but have been following this forum for a few months now and have learned so very much from everyone's experiences!  Thank you to all for sharing your wise advise and tips.  It has helped me to avoid newbie mistakes and this forum is better than any paid real estate investment classes out there!

My question - besides Craigslist and Postlets (which posts to Trulia, Zillow, HotPads, and 20 useless sites), which websites do you use to advertise your "For Rent" properties. I have three townhomes and have always used a Realtor in the past three years of ownership, but I've calculated that it has cost me $7,500 in the past three years in Realtor broker commissions, so I thought I will try renting the vacancy which came up now myself. Obviously, some people only go through a Realtor/MLS to find a rental and I know I'm losing that segment, but when I calculated that $7,500 in commission, that's a chunk of change. Any help with what has worked for you is very much appreciated and many thanks in advance!
