Rochester, NY...Where to advertise for Unit?

[Meg K.]

I've used craigslist to advertise my soon to be vacant unit....hopefully tenants move out...gave them 30 days notice for their MTM lease (long story).  Where else can I advertise?  this unit is not in a high end place, so I will not pay $100 to advertise in some of these online rip off websites.  I even doubt the people who would want to live in this location would search in those places.  I know about the Housing Council but most of the people who use their listings are on DSS/Sec. 8 and i am not willing to rent to that group.  I live in one of the units in the 2-story Duplex.  Rochester, NY Landlords/investors, how have you managed to find renters?  I appreciate your feedback.

Thank you, Meg

@Meg K. Absolutely keep posting to craigslist.  But the last round of vacancies I had I experimented with Rent Rochester and Postlets as well.

Rent Rochester was $35/apartment for a 30 day listing, and while I got a few leads, it certainly wasn't worth it.

Postlets on the other hand, was a winner.  The Postlets listing got syndicated on Trulia and Zillow and I was surprised at how many leads I got.  Solid leads too.  2 of the 3 vacancies I had were filled from leads generated with Postlets.  Boom.
