Get the most out of it

If you’re going to rent out your property, the more you market the property the more it will be occupied, and remember an empty property is like an empty hotel room and any contribution to your cost is better than none, most of all  don’t put all eggs in one basket

1. Register your property with agencies, don’t go exclusive, locate a mix of local companies and international companies, 2 of each is good as more than this can make the management of the vacancies difficult. Send them a list of available dates weekly, this avoids double bookings and keeps your property in there mind.
2. Promote it privately on web sites like http://www.hoilday-rentals.com
3. Family and Friends, offer them reduced rates as means of filling occupancy gaps.

Follow up, Follow up, Follow up, your aim should be to get everyone to repeat book for next year, the more repeat bookings you get the less you need to spend on marketing and repeat visitors tend to be more careful visitors.
