Alternatives to Airbnb and VRBO to maximize your rental exposure and income.

Short term rentals are not only limited to the major booking platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO; are you or your current property manager maximizing the other avenues to revenue?

This article will discuss some of the other rental options that can propel your income in 2021!

Furnished Finder

Furnished Finder is the #1 rental market platform for monthly furnished Travel Nursing (and other traveling professionals!) housing. They offer thousands of rentals by hosts, landlords, and homeowners across the country. If you have a property listed on Airbnb or VRBO, you're already likely to qualify listing on this platform. Here's the one caveat: It is a $99 listing upfront listing fee for an entire year of unlimited rental ability. Unlike Airbnb, you do not pay a service fee for each reservation or monthly rental you book.

If you're located in an area that has many hospitals or a high demand for furnished monthly rentals by traveling professionals, first responders, etc... this is a great option.

Temporary Accommodations

Temporary Accommodations focuses on providing furnished accommodations for families and individuals displaced from their homes due to natural disasters, fire, floods, pest infestations or otherwise. They also work closely with first responder organizations. Income is paid up front and backed by the insurance companies handling the relocation need for families and individuals. This is a great option for hosts looking to make steady, guaranteed income for up to a year long arrangement while helping a family or individual in need of unexpected and emergency temporary housing. It is free to use the platform once your property is accepted.

Houfy.com

Houfy is an up and coming competitor against the major platforms like Airbnb and VRBO. They believe in not charging a % service or booking fee, but rather make it free for basic listings or a flat rate fee per month to list for premium listings (pennies in comparison to VRBO's current structure). Because there are no middlemen to be paid per booking, there are also no communication restrictions so hosts can background check, take government ID information, and share contact information without any issues.

This platform will save you money on those expensive service fees that the major competitors charge both the host and guest for using their platform.

If you'd like to be listed on these platforms and more (there are at least 15 other listing platforms proven to perform!) with trusted property management that knows the in's and out's of maximizing profit, inquire with Tender Hosting LLC today!
