Where to advertise rentals to find tenants?

[Sam T.]

I have to imagine this has been discussed before so I apologize for bringing it up again, but I can't seem to find a similar post anywhere in the forums here.

Where do you all advertise your rentals that need to be filled? I have my first rental up on craigslist and zillow and I'm not getting much interest. Maybe I just have the asking rent too high, but if there are any other good sites to post my house for rent to generate more interest, I'd love to hear what everyone uses. Thanks!

@Sam T. You can search for them in Facebook. In the search bar at the top put in your town name or county name. If the town is Salem for example, you might find something like “Salem buy sell and trade”. They’re usually moderated and you have to request to join. I’ve found that a lot of people are active on them, and when I’ve posted properties people will tag family and friends they think might like it. I don’t see a ton of rentals posted in them yet so it’s a lot less competitive than the typical sites - at least in my market.
