Listing my STR in the offseason as a Mid-Term rental

[Scott Glozzy]

Hi Everyone, 

I'm a rookie real estate investor with one short term rental in South Carolina. Currently my STR is doing great during the busy summer season in SC and covers my offseason which is fantastic, but I'd like to maximize my income with this property. I'd like to list it as a mid-term rental in the offseason October- March and I'm looking for some guidance.

Furnished Finder has proven to be a bit difficult for me and I have not been able to land a mid term renter just yet. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I could accomplish this through Airbnb? Right now I use Hospitable as my channel manager and Price labs for dynamic pricing. I'm not sure if there is a creative way to accomplish my goal through that software that is integrated as well. I'm a bit stuck. 

Thank you all looking forward to the discussion.

Hey, Scott!

I use furnish finder with some properties to get leads for medium term rentals. I also have a few leasing agents and buyers agents that have my information and get a lot of mid term rentals that way. Given I am in a college town and a lot of students find themselves between leases over the summer, during breaks etc. I also have a lot of families that are in the process of buying a property or building and they need somewhere for a few weeks to a few months and furnished rentals makes the most sense in all scenarios. 

I’d connect with some local agents and see if they will save your info for next time they come across someone in the scenario and send them your info. 

Hope this helps!
