Looking for Unconventional Marketing Techniques

[Account Closed]

Found myself in a bit of a pickle in a market that doesn't have many people looking for rentals and trying to crowdsource some unconventional marketing techniques. Only have 2 more months of seed capital before I'm dry so need something good. Any viral marketers here?

Hey Parth.  

You are not giving a lot of info about the population, or the type of area you are trying to find tenants for, however here are some ideas.

Look in your zip code for property just like yours that are for rent.  Contact the owners and management companies and ask them what they are doing.

Find all of the nearest apartments in the area, and send everyone in them a letter stating the benefits of renting from you.

Whatever you are trying to rent out, Offer 1 month's free rent, buy having them only pay 1/2 month's rent for the 1st month of their lease, and 1/2 month's rent on the last month of the lease.  Raise your rent slightly to cover a good portion of the loss. 

I hoped that helped a little.

Good luck.
