Best Way to Find Great Tenants in Brooklyn

[Donnell Suares]

Hello,

My name is Donnell Suares.  I am an attorney and investor from Brooklyn, NY.  I have purchase a 3 family investment property in Stuyvesant Heights, Brooklyn.  All three units are newly renovated.  

I have listed one unit for no-fee for rent on Craigslist, Apartments.com, leasebreak.com and zillow.  (The renovations on the other two units will be completed shortly).

I have only gotten one inquiry from 10 days of advertising.  The realtor who sold me the property advises me to list it with her for no-fee (with me paying one month rent to her) to get it rented fast.

Can anyone who rents in Brooklyn advise me on what has been successful for them?  I would like to avoid paying thousands of dollars to a realtor to rent these apartments quickly.

Thank you.

Donnell
