Seeking advice as new landlord in MTR space

Posted

Hi Everyone,

I'm a new property owner/landlord in the MTR space trying to get my property rented ASAP (ideally to traveling nurses/medical professionals/corporate professionals). I want to know if people have had more success listing their entire property for rent versus renting by the room? I have a spacious 3 bedroom/1 bath apartment (1500 sq ft). I'm sure each person has their preference, but I'm curious to know what people's experiences have been and if they have seen differences in vacancy rates using one vs the other. My property is currently listed on Airbnb, FF, and Vrbo as the entire apt. Any advice would help, thank you in advance!

This is going to be very market dependent, and property dependent.  Is the unit set up for rent by the room in a good efficient way?  Is there a use case or need for rent by the room?  If you want to test you're own theory there is no harm in putting up the rooms as separate at a discounted rate and see if you end up with some bites. nothing wrong with throwing the add up and testing it.
