How To Use Real Estate Internet Marketing To Rent Your Property

Real estate internet marketing sounds complicated, and there is a lot more to it than meets the eye, but you shouldn't let that stop you from using the internet to rent your house.



The internet has played a huge role in keeping property management costs down:  On-line tenant billing, on-line payment options, and letting tenants make repair requests through your website are a few quick examples that we discussed in last week's house rental article. 

Four Easy Real Estate Internet Marketing Techniques

In the 5 Step House Rental eBook there's a nice section on how to rent your house by using the internet.

Everything we discuss in the eBook are proven techniques, not some classroom fantasy.

Here are four ways that I've personally used the internet to rent houses:

Simple property website

There are services out there that let you quickly and easily set up a website for your house for rent.

For free.

The nice thing is that you don't have to be an internet guru to do this. 

These free sites come with templates that have pre-configured layouts, so all you really have to do is enter some copy and maybe a picture or two, and you're good to go.

Free on-line advertising

You do not have to spend a lot of money to rent your house.

One of our favorite - and most effective - on-line resources for marketing you home for rent costs very little and in some markets is actually free.

Real estate flyers on-line

There's one company out there that I've used the last couple of years to design flyers for houses to rent absolutely free.

Just like with the free website service I mentioned, the flyers come with various templates, so all you have to do is fill in some blanks with info on your specific property and you've got a very professional looking on-line flyer.

Property listing websites

In today's rental housing market the MLS is quickly becoming a dinosaur.  Plus, to get your home for rent listed on the MLS you've got to sign up with a real estate agent, which is something you may not want to do.

Fortunately there are on-line alternatives out there that let you list your house for rent, for free.

Plus these sites will 'reach out' to other real estate website services, Yahoo is one example, and you'll end up with real estate internet marketing exposure for your rental home that you never expected. 

Tying It All Together With Real Estate Internet Marketing

So, to start things off right you've now got a free website for your home for rent, you know how to market your house for rent on-line for free (or maybe a few bucks depending on where you rental house is), and you can design a professional flyer on-line for free.

Who said the internet isn't great?
