Count the bedrooms
A tracking walk down the hall with every door open, then a short clip in each bedroom, with the count in the caption. Bathrooms per bedroom is the second number; show them.
The walk to campus
A street clip from the door toward campus, with the walking time in the caption. For parents, the lighting and the neighbourhood at dusk matter; shoot the street once in daylight.
Investor facts
Rent per bed, the lease term, the vacancy history and the parking count go in the documents; the video shows the condition that justifies them. The rental guide covers reusing the video at turnover.
Questions
Should I show the property with tenants' belongings?
No — shoot it between leases, clean and empty, and reuse the video. Tenant belongings date the video and raise privacy issues.
Is video worth it for a four-bed rental?
It fills the unit faster and filters the showings to serious groups. One video serves every leasing season.
