View submission: I have a stupid question. (Rentals)

Landlord here. I have a single unit duplex that I also live in. I have never once advertised for tenants. And I always have a waiting list. This last time I had a couple of people drop out at the last minute and I thought I might need to advertise but then someone who I was not expecting, let me know if someone else they knew about who was looking for a place.

This probably doesn't work for the bigger managed properties but for small landlords word of mouth is your best strategy. Let people that you trust know that you are looking and what you are hoping for and they can be helping you figure this out, too.

My rental does not really meet your needs but I think if you keep an eye out for five months something will appear for you. Trying to do it a month or two in advance is where you run into the nightmare situations.
