Do this to rank higher on Furnished Finder | Calendar + Response Time

Two habits separate midterm rental landlords who book consistently on Furnished Finder from landlords who don't: reply speed and calendar accuracy. Katie Lyon is a mid term rental landlord and part of the Furnished Finder team. In this video, she shows you exactly how to do both better, the fast-reply template system that works even when you have a day job, and why a stale calendar quietly costs you bookings and search visibility. The faster you reply and the more current your calendar, the more visible your listing becomes. Visibility drives inquiries. Inquiries drive bookings. Bookings drive your revenue.

Why 85% of Stacey St. John's Short Term Rentals Switch to Midterm For Slow Season

Short term rental slow season doesn't have to mean an empty or unpredictable calendar. STR expert Stacey St. John shares how she adds midterm rentals in the slow season to cover costs and build a furnished rental business that earns all year. Landlord Diaries hosts Kelly Bailey and Katie Lyon talk with Stacey, a short term rental coach who turned $50,000 into a 7-figure real estate portfolio in just a few short years. She runs her Myrtle Beach rentals as short term stays 8 months of the year and switches 85% of her short term rentals to midterm 4 months of the year. What you'll learn in this episode: Why buying an STR at the end of high season is risky without reserves How mid term rentals helped Stacey cover costs in slow season Why pricing and calendar management make or break a hybrid strategy How one $500 weekend booking can block a $3,500 monthly stay Why slow season reviews carry more weight and how to protect them Who books monthly rentals in a beach market off season Why responsiveness beats expensive amenities for five-star reviews The mindset habits behind growing a $2 million portfolio from $50K According to the Furnished Finder and AirDNA monthly rentals report, demand for monthly rentals grew 2x faster than short term rentals over the last five years, and turnover and cleaning costs drop 60 to 70% per tenancy. This episode is for Airbnb and VRBO hosts facing seasonal vacancy, regulated STR hosts looking for a pivot, long term landlords seeking more cash flow, new landlords, retirees exploring a side hustle, and investors building passive income. Furnished Finder connects landlords directly with traveling nurses, relocating families, snowbirds and other monthly renters. No middleman, no booking fees or commissions.

No Vacancy Series | Is Your Midterm Rental Priced Wrong?

Pricing your midterm rental is one of the hardest parts of being a landlord, and most landlords get it wrong in one of three ways.

In this video, she breaks down three signs your rental pricing is off, how to spot the signs in your Furnished Finder dashboard, and the Market Insights data landlords should check before touching their price.

The Truth About Airbnb’s New Fee Increase

As of September 15, Airbnb service fees moved to a flat 15.5% commission on the host side, and the old fee break for long stays over 30 days is effectively gone. Katie Lyon is a midterm rental landlord with 13 units listed on both Airbnb and Furnished Finder, and she's part of the Furnished Finder team. In this video, she walks through the real math on a typical midterm stay, why raising your rate 15.5% still loses you money, and what this change means for landlords running both platforms. Katie also covers why cleaning fees and pet fees need to be adjusted (not just your nightly rate), how guest discounts on pricing affects longer stays, and what Furnished Finder CEO Jeff Hurst predicts is coming next for Vrbo.

Is Your Long Term Rental Losing Money? Ruben Doubled His Income with This Strategy | Ep. 173

Ruben Galindo more than doubled his rent by converting all four of his long-term rentals to midterm rentals. His very first conversion went from $1,725 a month to $3,995, and he spent under $6,000 to furnish the property. In this episode of Landlord Diaries, Ruben walks us through exactly how he made the switch, what it cost, and how he now guides his real estate clients through the same decision. Ruben is a San Antonio investor who has spent 33 years in law enforcement and around a decade owning rental properties and working as a licensed real estate agent. He proves you don't have to quit your day job to build a profitable midterm rental portfolio. If you own long-term rentals and feel like you're leaving money on the table, this episode is for you. Ruben breaks down the furnishing myths that scare landlords away, why insurance and relocation tenants are integral parts of the midterm market, and how he focuses on midterm but fills the gaps with short term to keep his calendar optimized between stays. In this episode: The Furnished Finder Market Insights tool for pricing your rental Why construction workers and displaced insurance tenants are ideal midterm guests Aim for $7 to $10 per square foot when furnishing a midterm rental How to self-manage a midterm rental with a full-time W-2 job Why every long-term landlord should reconsider this strategy before placing another long term tenant Whether you're a long-term landlord chasing more cash flow, a short-term host tired of the hospitality grind, a retiree exploring a side income, or a real estate investor pursuing financial independence, Ruben's story shows that converting to midterm is less expensive and less risky than most landlords assume.
