The Short-Term vs Mid-Term Rental Showdown: How much can you REALLY earn?

[@donnahampton3632]

I rent a room in my residence on Airbnb. I have the length of stay set at 30+ for a 50% discount, and weekly rate has 20% discount. Any empty days I have in the next 2 weeks I change to a 2 night minimum. That way I get as many MTR reservations as I can, and then fill in with short term.

Hey Kylee and Steven, Awesome info and insight as usual. Really give me some approaches on my MTR, I was heavily going to focus on getting travel nurses but I will also cater to several types of guests and see which one works out best. Thanks again.

Thanks for answering my question! I saved the pool and it’s looking so good.

Thank you for posting all of your experiences. Very helpful for new hosts.

Our STR is managed and the company has the house cross listed on AirBNB, VRBO, etc., but I usually can't find our listing on the other sites even when I zoom in on the map, or get pretty specific with my search. It makes me wonder how many bookings we are missing out on because of that. I really enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share such great info. It's helpful, realistic, and encouraging.

Check your settings (or have your Manager check) for: Minimum Night Stay, Maximum Occupancy and Booking Window. ALL will affect search results.

Hello, im unable to see the bedroom design. Could you please share it with me as well. Thanks

I'll bet the replacement costs for amenities and upkeep are less for the Mid-Term Rental, yes? Less wear-n-tear?

[@stockrider2666]

I would love to have more mid term bookings, the longest I've ever had is 13 days but the challenge I find is pricing... When I do a "flexible" search for months, the properties available for rent are just way too low in pricing for it to be worth it to me. How do you approach the pricing? Would be interesting if we could know how much demand there actually was for mid terms but I just feel like most people looking for 30+ days are looking for "deals" rather than paying the premium.

10:24 Do you have instant booking on for the mid term rentals? Wondering how I would get guests to sign this after they would have done instant booking. Thanks!

[@yeseniatineo3865]

We are a new listing and received an instant book for a 55 night stay during our high season, which had a 20% monthly discount (discount recomended by our management company). But we are not feeling too good afterwards, since the daily rate for those 55 nights are so low and it is happening during our high season time. Any advise on the pricing strategy and/or monthly discount setting for us moving forward?

I never got my email'ed checklist. I signed up when you debuted it.

[@kyleeandsteven]

Sorry about that! Did you check spam? If so send me an email to [e-mail] or a message on IG and I’ll get it to you.

[@tarastavelingpaints4811]

I require once a week, new sheets, fresh towels, bathroom, vacuum, wipe down

[@kyleeandsteven]

Do you pay for that or charge guests?

[@summerrblu]

When you advertise on so many platforms can 3 different client see the same available date and book it? What if 3 different persons that booked from 3 different sites turn up at the house lol

[@kyleeandsteven]

This is where a good channel manager comes in! When someone books it will instantly block the calendars on other platforms. We use Uplisting www.uplisting.io/?via=arrivls
