.: You could advertise the position among your tenants.

This costs money, which is why application screening is not free.I recommend you include some of your key qualification criteria in the advertisement.

If you analyze what is advertised to you especially off the MLS then you aren't going to find "a deal". 3.

There is a banner on the top that states "Listing cannot be published without a Zillow Advertising Contract," I filled it out but have gotten no email confirmation or estimated time of completion. 

Advertising can be done on a STR platform, but will probably get more traction on websites where people are more likely to look for more than a nightly/weekly rental.

They are at 7 and 9 years so far.)My PM pays for themselves in too many ways…I don’t face any fair housing violations because I’m not keeping up on monthly changes local, state and federalThey take care of advertising, showing, rent collection, charging late fees.

Throw in a dose of imposter syndrome and fatalism and you have a recipe for some mood swings right before a property is booked again.From a practical point, I would recommend great photos, a clearly defined target to whom you are advertising and understanding the best pricing of an area really well to ake sure you get booked in a timely fashion.From a more meta perspective, be aware that these listings don't typically get booked well in advance (families displaced by flood or fire, traveling nurses who need a new contract ASAP, and construction projects that realize they need a speciality engineer on-site RIGHT NOW don't book ahead). 

Direct marketing, buying at auction, MLS HUD/REO/Short sales, PPC Google advertising, or something else?

Some worked as advertised, and some do not.

To really know the result, I'd need to be advertising two identical properties -- one with a premium listing and another with a regular listing.Does anyone have experience that clearly shows a result from using a premium listing?
