I'm fresh out of college and live in a town home in Ballston with 3 other roommates and pay rent at around $1000/month. I started looking and posting ads March including one forum post on here. I ultimately just used craigslist and would check ads on there daily and reply to anyone needing a roommate for a place.

I eventually posted an ad explaining that I'm looking for roommates who are laid back, friendly, outgoing, like to have fun, keep their doors open ect and want the same. I got several responses and eventually found my current roommates because someone was looking for a 4th guy to fill a room in their town home. I met all of them in person before reviewing and signing the lease and it turned out we also all work in the IT industry and like sports so it was a done deal by then. We go out and do stuff every weekend as well, so maybe I got lucky I guess.

My point is, craigslist worked pretty well for me, maybe it will for you too?

As for renting out the place, I'd find the roommates before you sign a lease so you can all sign the lease at the same time. I found my roommates 2 months before our lease started in July.
