A friend of mine has a small apartment complex that has been certified as being smoke free and he gets free advertising from the city website for that.

If you can get more, advertise it at a higher rate.

Hi Belinda,For the agricultural portions, I'd say your best bet is to advertise on craigslist, talk to the neighbors that farm in the area (they might be interested or know someone who is) and you could try an ag publication.

This year we tried something new and advertised one of our student properties inclusive of a weekly visit from our maid/cleaning service - we had 10 applications in the first day.b) We have a property in a working class neighbour hood.

We attempt to sell the property as quickly as possible as carrying costs and advertising cost are signigicant.

Federal brokerage laws apply depending on the type of loan.The type loan advanced determines what laws apply, residential loans will kick in RESPA and a bucket full of other regulations.Advertising to make loans is also covered under state and federal law, I suggest you not advertise on CL in Mo. or most any state for that matter, there are federal financial advertising laws.

When a tenant decided to move I'd advertise immediately and be showing the place before the tenant even left.

If you only have 3 rentals, you have the time to fix up a rental if a tenant moves out or to advertise and reshow it at a much higher rental rate.

They advertise in their home town 200 miles away for people like themselves who are local to their home and enjoy ocean vacations.

Here's my view on it (I did the expenses a little differently): Rent (roomates and other side of duplex: $1650 Expenses- Vacancy (at 1 month vacant for each spot per year: $137.50 Maintenance (at about $3500 total per year): $292 PITI: $1320 ($164K loan with 3.5% down, 6%, 30 years) Advertising/cleaning for vacancies: $84 (out of $1000 annually) Monthly loss: $183.50 But wait!
