Help - Suggestions on Rental Listing Software

[Ray R.]

I have a couple of empty units in So CA (Inland Empire - Riverside and Moreno Valley), and the usual methods of marketing are not working right now for me. 

What used to work was:

1. Apartments.com - seems to be making free listings less and less visible. But they start at $250 a month, 3 month minimum, but you get 20X visibility. Unfortunately this is per property! So if you have 4 properties, that are not near each other, you need to pay for each to advertise.

2. Zillow - not getting as much leads. They syndicate to Trulia and Hot Pads.

3. Craigslist - There are so many ads out there, we get very little calls back.

4. Sign in front of property

Questions / Thoughts / Ramblings...

FaceBook market place may be something to try. I'm not to crazy about the idea of posting from my personal account, but this time, FB does not seem to allow you to list from your FB business page. There are some third party apps that you can use to list from.

Any feedback on rooof does to make advertising easier? Seems to work through Chrome, and my guess fills in some fields for you.

There seems to be tricks with Craigslist so you stay at the top of the listings. I think having multiple listings. But then rumor is they can shadow ban you. I am looking at other complexes, and seems like they are doing multiple listings.

Appfolio has a way it seems to list apartments, but then your stuck with the cost of the software per month. It's a management software, that starts at $250. Something like Yardi and Onesite.

Rentlinx is another way to list via syndication to a bunch of sites, but costs $69 for one month.

Turbotenant charges the applicant. Seems like a limited reach.

Reviews is an area I have not done yet. Any thoughts?

Postlets was bought by Zillow.

Avail seems to list to the major sites I do.

I tried rent.com paid, and not many leads.
