Converting Your AirBnB to a Long-Term Rental

Is the Short-Term Rental Market Getting Oversaturated in Your Area?

It’s tough to be an AirBnB owner in an overcrowded market. In some markets, the number of available listings almost doubled between 2020-2022.

With so many vacation homes available, some investors saw their occupancy go from 50% to 0% in 2022. This is painful, especially if you counted on the income to pay your mortgage.

In this video, Jenn shares her own experience with AirBnBs, and discuss why switching to long-term rental may be a good idea now.

What Are The Benefits of Long-Term Rental vs Short-Term Rental?

• In long-term rental (i.e. 1 year lease), you have consistent income that is not affected by seasonality or market conditions.
• In an annual lease, tenants are typically responsible for housekeeping and minor maintenance such as replacing lightbulbs and AC filters.  This means your maintenance cost for long-term rentals will be much lower.
• Fewer turnover means less overhead.  In addition, the property management fees are much lower with long-term rentals.
