Most of our calls have come from drive-bys. Fewer from Craiglist. The newspaper ad starts on the 22nd, and we expect to have it rented by then. Plus some fliers in area restaurants, post office, etc.<br /><br />We have learned to put an informational sign in front of the house because it looks so much smaller than it really is. If I can get people INSIDE, I can rent it. We have one application in hand and two more that should be on the way. <br /><br />You hit on all the hot points for a landlord: Provide references, turn your application in promptly, be prepared to put the deposit down. Talking to a prior landlord is my first priority, especially if there are pets involved, and there almost always are - we've given up on not allowing pets, we're just choosy.<br /><br />I've heard that rentals are scarce and expensive right now. We're keeping our price at the low end though.Minniepinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04222688387813336236noreply@blogger.com
