Furnished stays of 30 days or more, for traveling healthcare professionals, people relocating for work, and students. Same property, a different way of pricing and managing it.
Traveling nurses and allied health professionals on 8 to 13 week assignments. Employees relocating for a new job before they commit to a lease. Students and visiting faculty who need housing for a semester. They want a real home base, not a hotel experience.
You price by the month instead of by the night, with the math prorated for partial stays. Turnover drops from every few days to every few weeks or months. Many hosts find revenue holds up well against nightly rates while the day-to-day workload shrinks. Results depend on your market and property, so treat any number you hear as a starting estimate.
A monthly rate, usually set below 30 nights at your nightly price because you're saving on turnover, cleaning, and guest communication. Partial months are prorated.
Far fewer check-ins and cleanings. A unit that turned over 35 times a year might turn over 4. Maintenance happens in fewer, larger windows.
A real rental agreement with clear stay dates, what's included, and deposit terms, plus more careful screening for a longer stay.
Rules vary by state and city. In many places a 30+ day stay is treated differently from a nightly rental, which can change tenant protections, deposit timelines, and local registration requirements, so check what applies where you are.
Short-term rental rules keep tightening in many markets, and a calendar that swings between packed and empty is hard to run. Most software was built for either nightly turnover or twelve-month leases, which leaves mid-term hosts piecing tools together by hand. A clear approach up front beats improvising later.
I'm happy to look at your market, your slow stretches, and your property with you. No pitch, just a straight conversation.
I'm also putting together a practical guide and a toolkit of templates for hosts getting started. If you'd like a heads-up when they're ready, let me know.
