Find a House Rental in a Tough Market

Are you scanning the rental market and wondering how long it might take to find the right rental house for you and your family?

The single-family homes market remains the toughest residential segment for renters, and landlords can be very choosey about who they rent to. You’ll want to read our posts on what landlords are looking for and how to be an awesome tenant.

Boost your reach to available, and often hidden rental house listings with the resources below. And read up on the best sites for apartment rental listings too.

Big Portals and Smaller Niche Websites

Single house rental specialized sites lean toward a house rental demographic audience and not to multifamily apartment renters. Many wealthy people also rent houses rather than buy.

Be forewarned that some websites suggest they have houses for rent, but actually have few or none.  And there are some sites that will list properties that are actually not available anymore. They want to lure you to their site and perhaps rent another home or apartment.  I’ve found this to be most frustrating in my own searches for a house rental.

Drill down in Your Searches

Whether searching via Google, Realtor.com, Zillow, Redfin or local real estate websites, add other keywords to your search such as 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom, lease, or the name of a street or neighborhood, to draw out the listings you really want.  Create a list of local real estate brokerages to keep in touch with, because Realtors are taking over the house rental market to capture potential sales leads. You’ll need to contend with that problem as Realtors will favor those with high credit ratings, large incomes and a need to buy a home.

Let’s begin with the major national rental property sites.
