Advertising Rentals in Chicago

Posted

Hey all,

I know this question has been asked before but I'm a property owner (and broker) in the city of Chicago and I'm looking for advice on the best sites or software for advertising my rental listings. I'm new in the BiggerPockets game but I miss the old days of Postlets and insane listing syndication (or when Craigslist was useful, or is it?).  Thanks in Advance,

Greg

@Gregory Kohlhagen we've used Avail, Zillow, and Domu to advertise our rental listings. Avail also posts your listing on Zumper and Padmapper, while Zillow posts to trulia and hotpads as well.

As @John Warren mentioned, Zillow charges $10/week but in our experience, their lead generation far exceeds the other websites we've used so its still currently worth the cost. I've never used Craigslist or Facebook marketplace but based on what @Paul De Luca and @Dave Spooner have said its certainly something we'll be using in the future!
