Midterm rental advice
Hello! I recently put my mid term rental in the market (about 2 days ago now). And I want to know about what's the average amount of time to find a tenant when using furnished finder, Airbnb, and vrbo? I've had a bit of interest with furnished finder. And have been reaching out to everyone in the leads that are unmatched for housing. And I have one possible request in Airbnb that I'm just waiting to see actual payment. I need to get a booking this month for financial reasons. It's a 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo for 3600. I cannot short-term rental it due to HOA guidelines. And, my mortgage is too high to long-term rental it. I'm currently reaching out to people to notify them that I'm offering a discount for the first booking of $3300, I can't rent it for less than $3200 to break even.
Any tips are absolutely welcomed! Thank you!

Congrats on getting your mid-term rental listed! In my experience, the average fill time really depends on the platform and local demand—on Furnished Finder I’ve seen anywhere from 2–6 weeks for medical and corporate tenants, while Airbnb/VRBO bookings can come faster if your pricing and photos are competitive. One tip: follow up quickly with unmatched leads on Furnished Finder, since many travelers don’t keep searching once they’ve booked. Also, offering a slight discount for the first stay (like you’re already doing) is a smart way to get momentum. I focus on the Midwest and have noticed MTR demand has been very strong around hospitals and corporate hubs—worth checking if there are major employers nearby you can market directly to.
