Advertise rent property before completed

[Raul Flores]

Guys

I am completing my first rehab (2 weeks left) and I would like to know when to begin advertise the property for rent.

Also I am located in Houston, what is the best place to advertise, Zillow, Craigslist, etc.

Any suggestion guys.

Thanks

Raul,

Couple thought's:

Yard sign saying "Coming Soon" will grab those in need of that neighborhood.  If you get multiple, set up a showing for all of them at once.  Builds a feeling of "hot" demand, like a mini auction. 

Gosection8.com if you are willing to take a section 8 tenant.  Unless they are on socialserve.com.  Cant remember which exactly.

Offer it on a Lease/Purchase.  Take a 3%-5% non refundable consideration and put someone in who has an ownership mentality instead of a rent mentality.

Craigslist is fine but you gotta post regularly.

MLS, if your MLS has rentals, your Realtor can post it for $250. Cheap and easy.
