HereIm going to answer the question, "should I advertise my rentalproperty using Gumtree?"

3 of 4Tenant ManagementGumtree is also very internationally recognized so you do get a lot of internationals who come in to Australia and possiblynot even having jobs and trying to find a rental property, and theyre too scared to go to a real estate agent becausethey know theyre going to get checked.Ok, so to answer your question, "Should I advertise my property on Gumtree?" sure, Id give it a go. But I would go, inconjunction, with using the larger type targeted websites like realestate.com.au. And Ill have to make sure I have thetime to do it so create the advertisement and receive the phone calls. Id also need to properly check or screen thetenants when they make a phone call inquiring about the property before I even show them the house. And also, it goeswithout saying, to properly vet your applications, and I cant stress that enough.Gumtree is internationally recognizedShould I Advertise on Gumtree
