Congrats on the home purchase @Aashish Gottipati! I've set up two co-living houses now in Austin and have helped others do the same and have found a few key places to work well.

1. I'd recommend flexible leasing/housing/room rent facebook GROUPS instead of marketplace. Marketplace have gotten too much spam in the past and not worth the time

2. roomies.com a marketplace for rooms for rent

3. The best is through word of mouth, friends want to help but sometimes forget or dont know how. Reach out friends and see if they've met anyone recently that might need a place to stay. Target the communities you enjoy being apart of (church, pickleball, work, ect) to find people with similar interest/values.

Hope this helps, feel free to shoot me a message for any additional Qs!

 I start a job in Manor in the 21st. I'm not from the area so I don't know anyone near there, but I soon will. I'll ask around if you'd like. 

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the bigger pockets community and this is my first post on the forum. I recently purchased a 4 bed 2 ba house in Manor Texas and am looking to rent out three of the bedrooms while living in one. I have been trying to find renters but have had little luck. We were getting leads through FB marketplace; however, we were recently blocked from the platform due to their automated review system. Do y'all have any suggestions for how to market/get renters in the area? I'm currently a grad student at UT if that helps.

Thanks.
