Furnished Short Term Housing

[Clay French]

I live in Louisiana, and there has been a recent natural gas boom because of the Haynesville Shale. We decided to take advantage of this by converting some of our rental units into furnished short term housing for people involved in the industry. We have been able to increase our net rev. considerably, but the economy has obviously slowed and the natural gas prices have fallen. Because of this, a lot of gas companies have started laying off workers. I'm wondering if anyone else has any experience with short term housing, and if so, what marketing techniques did you use to keep finding new tenents?
