In this week’s Hosting Hotline, we’re answering a question we hear all the time: Should I consider midterm rentals (30+ day stays)? If you’re wondering whether it’s the right move for your property, this episode will help you break it down.

We cover the pros, cons, and what it really looks like to add midterm rentals into your hosting strategy—including Sarah’s firsthand experience with listing on Furnished Finder during the off-season.

We break down:

What counts as a midterm rental—and how it’s different from STRs and LTRs
The pros: lower turnover, longer stays, consistent income, and guest quality
The cons: more hands-on screening process, less automation
Why midterm guests are not just short-term guests staying longer
How to test the waters using platforms like Furnished Finder
What amenities, furniture, and stocking levels midterm guests expect
How to check demand in your market before jumping in
A $30-off listing code to get started risk-free on Furnished Finder

We’re also joined by Tanya Shin, Chief Growth Officer at Furnished Finder, who shares trends they’re seeing (hint: it’s not just nurses anymore) and the best way to see if your city is midterm-ready.
