QUOTE (zimnicki @ Oct 29 2009, 07:55 AM) Yes your right, i had another ad since yesterday morning as well, so i have about 2 running that i have created, since yesterday 8am, so about 24 hours... everyday or so, i just create another one so it gets bumped to the top. I also have had great luck with kijiji, but i just caught off gaurd with my tenant leaving, that i would like someone back in there asap. Plus it doesnt help that i just bought another house the same day i find out a tenant moves out,

Hello Michael,
I see that you are anxious about renting the property. I would include some of the benefits of the property. I have read your ad and saw the pictures. It looks a great place, but your are talking about "features". You can mention the features, and include comments like bright kitchen, cozy place, have fun at the hot tub...
Look for a catchy title for your ad. If you follow the marketing tips posted on the Forum and read the Solid Oak Marketing, you get a better chance.
I include my ads on Rent Board, grocery stores and any other place which have an ad board for the public. My properties are in Edmonton, and fall and winter is slower to rent. I don`t know the market in Winnipeg, I assume that it is the same. Offer some incentives: $50.00 rent rebate (you can find the letters at the Member Forms). Also it is a good title to attract people.
Word of caution. Do not be too anxious to rent faster. Take your time and screen your tenants. If you rent for the first one, you might get problems worse than vacancy...
I hope this helps,
