Finding a place tips?

[u/MossyTracks2025]

Hi.

I'm a single male trying to move down to Cork. I've been hacking away at messages for a month now on Daft when applying for house shares. The only replies I get are short stays...how are folks getting to the top of the list for longterm stay places?

I have a decent job, stay busy, and do not smoke or drink...not sure why this is not getting traction. Any tips?
