How do I find quality renters?

[Marcel Pean]

Hello BP!

I finally took the plunge into real estate by buying my first property! This is a single family house I had to purchase as a primary residence. There is a finished basement with a bedroom and bathroom where I will live. I intend to rent the upper 2 levels as a 3br house. 

I am currently advertising on Craigslist but I haven't had as much traffic as I hoped. I'm sure part of it is the time of year and I'm wondering if it's worth reducing the rent in order to attract a tenant. 

What are some successful marketing tactics to attract quality renters?

Craigslist is where scams go to fester. Use software like TenantCloud that allow you to manage your properties for free, including marketing to various websites.
