For those of you that are anywhere near a military base, there is no reason to have a high vacancy rate. Do you want to get a lead on personnel before they ever get to your location and be seeking you out before the others? Then get with your local Housing Service Office (HSO) on base and get them out to your place. Then get on this site:

and register your property. You will be seen worldwide by those coming to your location. Need more information? Give me a shout!
Does this also hold true in areas where there may not be a military installation, but there are still hometown recruiter commands that maintain offices near high schools and colleges?
Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. What I would do is advertise on military.com. They do not tell you up front, but if you offer a discount to the service members then they let you advertise for free. They reach a worldwide audience.
Then I would go to the local recruiting command and talk to the leadership and give them a tour of the area and what you have to offer and maybe through in a couple of benefits for those choosing to live in your community. It works out both ways because you have a deal where you can say if they enroll in automatic pay you can make a certain reduction as long as they are in the program for automatic bill pay.
