Hello Guys,
Seeking advice on finding US private landlords for renting. Best websites or platforms for their listings? Success with local boards, social media, or unconventional methods? Legal considerations when renting privately? How negotiable are terms like rent, leases, or maintenance? Any tips or experiences appreciated.
Thanks for your insights…
I’ve previously found private landlords on Craigslist and the Facebook Marketplace.
Sometimes it’s fantastic, sometimes not so much. Viewing privately owned rentals should be treated like an interview: you are interviewing them just as much as they are interviewing you.
I like to post on city-specific housing groups because it’s free, convenient to use messenger for communication, and I can learn about people through their Facebook profiles.
