ParticipantMight try the local fish wrapper as well. I cant think of other ways rentals are advertised off the top of my head. But it cant be too hard to cover most of the bases. Tell us what you discover.
PS: I’ve run ads on Craigslist posting what I want and what I am willing to pay for it, with great success. But put it in the section that’s trying to rent the houses, not the “wanted” section. For some reason, it works a lot better to put it where the ads are posted for rentals available.

ParticipantMaybe someone should get hold of Uhaul and ask them, “why the difference in price for the exact same distance?”. Doubt they’re trying to hide anything.

ParticipantPerhaps you could try running an ad on Craigslist saying what you’re looking for and how much you’re willing to spend? See what kind of responses you get. No reason to be passive here when the data is so important to your analysis. Search for other ways as well, like property management companies, etc….
I think you may discover an interesting trend as well as pick-up some data that’s not easily attainable. I’ve often wanted to see a correlation of rental prices for a given unemployment level. Or occupancy rates of residential units and homes correlated to rental price trends. A study well worth making these days since so many are utilizing the “rent vs. buy” calculation as their logic for purchasing right now.December 22, 2008 at 3:50 PM in reply to: How much cheaper should the own vs. rent be, in order to buy? #319399peterb

ParticipantDo your home work and find out what rents are going for so that you can decide what to do. If it’s your key component for decision-making, you need to get a good handle on it. Then decide if rents may be going down….
