Listed it on Furnished Finder, Facebook, AirBnB, ZillowAs a long term rental, in one day, I got 10 contacts, 7 out of whom filled out my pre-screening questionnaires and disclosed their income, etc and at least 4 of them scheduled a showing for this week. 

Always have the tenants pay for the screening.

It's all about Screening.

Honestly it's almost less work for us because we don't have to screen, airbnb does, we don't have to deal with leases, airbnb does that stuff, and we don't have to advertise, airbnb does.Location: If you do str OR/AND you really want the highest appreciation (I wanted both) you want to stick close to RTP and the airport.

You can find it at the top of your screen under “Pick Markets” and use either the market finder tool or the spreadsheet.

My advice is to screen, screen, screen when you have a vacancy. 

With all tenants, you should do your due diligence screening them.
