Rental ADDvantage experience?

[Melroy D'Souza]

I've been on BP for a year and you guys are awesome, covered most of my questions in previous posts. But no search results for Rental ADDvantage offered by "get more offers.com" (not sure if I am allowed to use a website). So I thought I'd start my first thread. They say it is a $179 flat fee to post a rental ad on MLS. Anyone used this service? Experience with something similar?

My current (just my second) rental is ready to be leased. I started with the usual - postlets.com, craigslist and placed a For Rent Sign in the yard. It's only been about a week, haven't had one qualified tenant so far. ALL the people calling so far do NOT meet the minimum income standards, which is clearly on the rental ad, but they keep wasting their time (and mine of course). They all want to see the property and I am getting to listen a lot of drama and sob stories. I don't want to be rude, but I have to learn to cut them off politely.

I thought may be having it on the MLS might improve the odds of finding a more "decent" long term tenant? - This is a large 4 Bed, 2 bath in a B, B- area that is surrounded by a lot of smaller C+, C houses/apartments. Am I over thinking this? Just have to be more patient? It is the end of January after all? My first rental was an A-, B+ area that leased in 2 or may be 3 weeks the end of last July with something like 20 contacts every week, at least 5 or 6 of these being reasonably qualified.

Sorry for the long post. I think I ended up with a couple of different topics.
