026 - Micro Living: To Model or Not to Model | Rooms with Ronald

Model units might seem like a no-brainer—but are they still the best choice for your community? In under 10 minutes, I’ll explain why showing vacant units could be your secret leasing weapon. In this episode of Rooms with Ronald, the micro-living edition, we tackle a hot topic: the pros and cons of showing model units vs. vacant units. As I share my experiences from property tours, we’ll explore why the modern renter might prefer seeing the exact unit they’ll be moving into, and how models could be costing you more than you think. Plus, I share my thoughts on those confusing “mini models” (spoiler alert: I think they should go!). And if you’re 100% complete, I’ve got tips on using videos to show off your floor plans. Whether you’re a property manager, leasing agent, or just curious about multifamily trends, you’ll find some valuable insights here. So grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s rethink the model unit strategy! If you enjoyed this episode, hit like, subscribe, and let me know in the comments—are you team model or team vacant?
