best places to list rentals
Where is the best place to find large pool of good quality tenants? I currently list on craigslist, AHRN for military, tried zillow zumper and facebook. cozy is no long available since they merged with apartments.com. any other sites?
Zillow has only given me a few inquiries and couple showings over the years so not worth paying. Facebook has a load of interest but very few qualify for the showing. i usually get around 200-250 views, 30-50 inquiries, 15-20 replies to my prescreening questions and 5-10 showings with 3-8 actually showing up. so i feel its not worth my time replying to all these people when i usually end up picking someone from craigslist, but with craigslist i only get 5-10 inquiries and about 3 showings. I tried zumper but had several problems in the past with listings so i stopped using them. apartments.com from what i read they sell your info and your get lots of spam emails but havent tried it yet so cant say if its true or not.
I have been doing this for the past 15 or so years and craigslist was the go to, but times change and i need to adjust to the times. in the past 5 years craigslist has slowed down and i dont get as many inquiries so i am trying other sites but none seem to be worth it. i dont think its my listing as i have decent (not professional) pictures, the price is not too low that i attract low income and not too high that majority cant afford. im priced right in the middle for my area compared to other listings. the description lists the property info, pets allowed, drive time to shopping centers etc.
basically i get better quality tenants from craigslist, but very little applicants. Where do you guys tend to find a large pool of quality tenants from?
