First l advertise cross streets a block away never exact address, second if someone call I will pre-screen them over the phone; does the price work for your budget, what do you do for a living, can you provide paystubs, can you pass a background check etc. then because I use lockbox most times I never give the code until first they send me a picture of their drivers license and second they are at the house with the lockbox in there hands to prevent them from even writing it down.Also they must call me back as soon as they are done looking before they leave the property for security reasons, make sure the keys are back in the box and combination is shuffled and of course to tell me what think about the place.

Not soliciting or advertising myself

Whenever a property becomes vacant though I am definitely going to advertise at market rent.  

Does anyone know of a Free or close to Free advertising site for Realtors?

Has anyone seen success from online advertising, or do  physical yellow letters increase the perceived legitimacy of one's investing operation to a prospective buyer?

Have you heard of customer experience or word of mouth advertising?

I'm using Cozy for advertising, screening, and collecting rent.

You don't even have to contact the previous owners unless they start having guests show up to your place and even if this does happen the hosts of the old listings will find themselves with a suspended listing for false advertisement.

Imagine both of your units were vacant and you were advertising for tenants to rent each unit at $800 a piece.
