We evaluate whether the property is best positioned for short-term rental, mid-term furnished rental, long-term lease, insurance housing, corporate housing, or a combination strategy. We then adjust pricing, listing presentation, availability, minimum stay rules, and guest targeting accordingly. The goal is to maximize income without creating unnecessary risk, excessive wear and tear, or compliance problems.
