What if you could keep the income of short term rentals but lose most of the daily work? There is a powerful middle ground between Airbnb and long term rentals that most investors completely overlook. In this episode of Landlord Diaries, we sit down with Tim Hubbard, CEO of Corzly and host of the Short Term Rental Riches podcast, to unpack why experienced short term rental investors are adding midterm rentals.
Tim has hosted more than 50,000 guests across 10 countries and manages more than 200 properties worldwide. His portfolio includes both short term rentals and monthly furnished rentals, giving him a unique perspective on how investors can blend both strategies for stronger returns, fewer vacancies, and simpler operations.
You will learn why many landlords are discovering that midterm rentals are the sweet spot between short term and long term leasing. With monthly tenants staying an average of around 100 days on Furnished Finder, landlords can enjoy steady income with far fewer turnovers.
We also explore how investors manage furnished rentals from hundreds or even thousands of miles away, how to pivot properties seasonally between STR and MTR, and why platforms like Furnished Finder are becoming essential for landlords looking to capture growing demand from traveling professionals, relocating families, travel nurses and more.
Furnished Finder currently connects more than 240,000 landlords with over 6 million travelers each year looking for monthly housing, making it the largest platforms dedicated to midterm rentals.
If you are a real estate investor, Airbnb host, or landlord looking to stabilize income while reducing operational headaches, this conversation will show you how monthly furnished rentals can fit into your portfolio.
