Advertising Your Mexico Rental Property

Advertising your Mexico rental property is a very important step in working toward your goal of securing a rent-paying Tenant. Before you begin advertising you will need to start with an effective advertising plan.

There are several viable sources in which to announce to the public that you have a Mexico property for rent.

Mexico For Rent Signs

placed at the property with a phone #, email address, a brief description of the property such as number of bedrooms, bathrooms and rent amount. This source works best if you are in a location that a lot of people walk or drive by and is not as effective if you are located in more of a remote area.

Mexico Online Avertising

is typically the best source as most people go online first when searching for anything. There are many great sites to advertise on such as on Cragislist.com, forrentbyowner.com, rentals.com, the local Playa del Carmen classified paper Andale,( http://www.andale.com.mx/andale.cfm publica=home), VRBO.com, beachhouse.com or, ownerdirect.com. There are countless other online resources but my personal favorite is Craigslist.com. More and more people are turning to this website for real estate rentals and it s free! Online advertising also allows you to post pictures and detailed descriptions of your property.

Mexico Real Estate for Rent Flyers

distributed throughout the community, neighborhood, or surrounding area. This is generally a great source of advertising, especially in the small town of Playa del Carmen but it requires a little more work. There are many local restaurants and retail shops that will allow you to post flyers on their bulletin boards. However, in an effort to make the most out of this type of advertising, you want to make sure that you include the address, phone #, email address, rental price and a very descriptive outline of the property. You will also need to check on your posted flyers about once per week to insure that they are still there. This is where it would be advantageous to pay someone to post these for you if you are not always in the area in which the property is located.

Mexico Real Estate Online Forums

There are many local forums online that typically only pertain to a specific area and some have classified sections that you can advertise on. One forum in particular, www.intheroo.com, have members that have a love for Playa del Carmen, are locals to the area or are people that are looking to make their move to the Playa del Carmen area and seeking information. This is a great online source and I highly recommend this site.

Mexico Real Estate Offices

are a great way to advertise your property, especially if you are willing to offer compensation to the Broker for bringing you a Tenant. Be careful with compensation as local, state and federal laws may limit how much you can pay someone, especially if you are not a licensed Broker.

Word of Mouth.

Everyone knows someone that rents a home, apartment, or condo. What better way to advertise than to ask your neighbors to pick their neighbor!

Happy Holidays!
