Hiring a good local Realtor with great photography skills will assure that the MLS Realtor participants show it to their clients and that consumers will see it all over the Internet.

As an investor in rental property I have over the years found the local newspaper to work well, however more recently I have found both Craigslist.com and the Realtors MLS to be more effective. A site with pictures seems to draw the best results.

Well, although newspaper readership is at a record low, I've found more efficient to rent my investment properties by advertising on a local newspaper, the more local the better. In addition, there is a wealth of online search engines where you can post for free and that usually create a buzz and lots of inquiries on your property. For example, Craigslist.com, Google Beta Base, Homescape to name a few. When I am markting aggresivly a real estate property we post the listings in mor than 26 search engines! Of course, we understand that buyers are using the internet at record highs as their preferred tool to search for properties (the National Association of Realtors (NAR) actually estimated in 2004, that74% of home buyers used the Internet to search for homes. Since 2001, the Internet has surpassed newspapers as an information source in the home-search process. And, in 2004, while 16% of home buyers first learned of the home they purchased from yard signs, 15% learned about their home first through the Internet (up from 11% in 2003).

Should you decide to market th property on the internet you should include digital good quality pictures. Did you know that according to the NAR's 2003 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 78% of Internet home searchers prefer listings with photos [which is why the Top Notch Realty Team takes pride in multiple digital high-quality photos for each property listed ;0)].

Of course, you can always use an experienced professional realtor to listyour home as a rental for a reasonable commission and include your property on the Multiple Listing Service and Realtor.com the number one website/search engine used by buyers and renters to find their new home. We can process the lease applications and credit checks and bring you qualified tenant prospects for you to choose {double wink}!

If you need any additional help give me a call at (312) 607-0093 or (847) 381-9500 or drop me a line at nardita@kw.com. Good luck in finding a tenant for your property!

The Cheapest way is to advertise on Craigslist.com. The most expensive way is to liast with a Realtor and pay them a months rent as a finders fee. I've had great success with Craigslist. You can also try hotpads.com.

Good luck!
