How Do I Fill Empty Student Housing Rooms

[Derick Hunter]

I recently bought a 7 unit student housing apartment building. I had no problem leasing the one bedroom units, however I am having trouble leasing out rooms in my 4 bedroom and 3 bedroom units. They are partially filled. Any suggestions outside of the normal marketing online?

@Derick Hunter it appears the "market" is telling you that there are few, if any, student-groups looking for 2 & 3 bedroom housing - at least at this time of the year.

You may need to either:

1) Wait for summer, when students start lining up housing for the start of classes in the fall.

2) Offer rooms for rent in the 2 & 3 bedroom units. 
- This may have its own headaches as you will have to match various roommates that hopefully get along. Schools do it all the time in their dorms though:)
