I just rented a place and used a combination of Craigslist, Facebook marketplace and Zillow. All were free.

Craigslist and Facebook were the most effective. Maybe 15% of the leads came from Zillow and their affiliates.

$9.99 per week is way too much while Craigslist and Facebook are free.

@Greg Scott  I am in San Diego. I just fixed up one of my rental and do Airbnb for trying out. If it works then my goal is leasing from the landlord and repeat the cycle. For an incentive to the landlord and as needed basis, I can offer them a % of the profit.

Have you done airbnb? Let networking.

Not yet. I'm wondering if many landlords would want to sublease. After all they're already in the business. But worth a try.

@Greg Scott There are only 4 occasions anyone comes to Coffeyville for any sort of tourism and spends more than a night.

1. College graduation

2. High School graduation

3. Holidays (Christmas and Thanksgiving)

4. Weddings

I've been contacted by people through Airbnb that wanted to stay for just one of those weekends, but my minimum stay is one week.

Wow - impressive. Looks like it works well for that area.

Just read about Coffeville on Wikipedia. Doesn't sound like you'd have a lot of tourists looking for AirBNB... do you ?

Paul - that sounds interesting. Have you tried it?

Yes, 7 times.  An 8th time I bought a property that was on the sheriffs delinquent property tax sale.  Paid about the same as a bank repo.  About 25% of the county appraised value is what I paid.

 
Nice biz model. This is in KC MO?

I found this thread kind of late. Anyone in San Diego still using this model ?

How did this work out?
I'm thinking a good strategy would be to look for SD props with easy conversions to granny flats.
