Hey guys,
I am constantly asked for advice on rental properties and help finding them from my college friends (slow lane alert). I guess since I am one of the few that decided to buy a house, it makes me the real estate guru! Either way here is my idea.
1) I was going to develop a website that allowed rental agencies to post their rental properties for free.
2) All the properties would be near campus and targeted for students.
3) The students would see one of the hundreds of ads on campus and go to this site.
4) Upon getting to the site, they find a property they want, they press GET MORE INFO.
5) Instantly the rental firm that owns the property receives the lead email, I receive the lead email, and the student will wait for their information.
6) Once the email is sent out, it will automatically withdraw from that agencies account they they have with us. I was figuring $5-10 per lead.
Obviously there is face book and craigslist that I am competing with, but none of them are targeted nor monitored. There is so much crappy properties, duplicates, low quality images, etc. I thought that this may be a good way to help students find rental properties and make a killing at the same time.
Let me know what you think, REAL ESTATE PEOPLE I WANT YOUR INPUT ESPECIALLY!
Thanks
