Can't find tenants for my College Campus Home

Mila Posternak
Posted

I'm struggling to find tenants for a house that is really close to Rutgers University near New Brunswick NJ. I've received under 10 leads in the last about 15 days. I've posted on craigslist, turbo tenant (which posts everywhere), and places4students.com (this is the college campus posting site). None of the leads that have contacted me have led to even one showing of the house. I read here that the college renting cycle starts around June and that you should have your listing up by May 1st. I just bought this house mid-June. I hope that doesn't mean I'll have to wait a year to get tenants.  Also I'm pretty sure that compared to the other properties I see, it's a good deal for the monthly rent. This was the same rent the last owner was charging too, and he had 7 years of leases. 

Here is the posting from craigslist:

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks
