    Hello Kiefer,

    Two weeks is not that long of a period, depending on the area, that may be lower than the average days on market around there.

    Have you considered section 8 housing, that will open up a new group of tenants and may be paying a bit more? 

    If it's giving you a hard time to find a tenant you may be overpricing the unit.

    I hope you get it rented soon.
