Short-Term vs. Long-Term Airbnb Rentals. Why Supplementing With Long-Term Airbnb Stays May Be Right for You.
Long-term airbnb stays can be an attractive option
Seniors, travel nurses, college students, working professionals need longer term places to stay (Tell story about family traveling to visit family sick in the hospital and how it was a good fit for them)
The nightly rate will be a lot lower in some cases 30-40% lower, but it's made up for in occupancy. Note the wear and tear may be less, unless you have a really messy guest (Tell story of guest that stood for a month or two and left mountains of trash and moldy food)
If you would like to attract some long term-stays
Make sure you have good working wifi and proper amenities
Set expectations with your guests about how often you will be in touch
Consider offering monthly discounts and advertising on websites also geared towards longer-term stays
Make sure your rental is properly licensed for this, in most cases you need a lease and this needs to be reported to local tax collectors and licensing boards…a lot of hosts are doing this illegally - do not fall into this trap because you will have no rights if a squatter decides to overstay their welcome
