Leverage Long-Term Stays to Maximize Occupancy

Many companies are shifting their employees to working remotely, allowing many people the flexibility to live more of a nomadic lifestyle.   This has led the 30-plus day stays to become the fastest growing category on Airbnb right now.   But what are the pros and cons? And is it profitable?   Toby Doré currently manages over 20 units in 'Cajun Country' downtown Lafayette, Louisiana, and has over 5000 reviews on Airbnb. He's also a full-time sports psychology professor at the University of Louisiana and writes the travel blog, "The Cajun Traveler." Toby was in the first class of Legends X. His story appears in the book, Hospitable Hosts: Inspiring & Memorable Stories From Airbnb Hosts Around The World To Educate & Motivate.   On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Toby joins me to discuss how he transitioned his properties to 30-day plus stays during the pandemic to keep his business alive and why he's keeping them there in the fastest growing category on Airbnb.   Listen in as Toby shares the two biggest lessons he's learned from having his properties in the 30-day plus leasing model, how he uses his travel blog as a marketing tool for his STR business, plus some important tips about LTR leases.    The next Legends X STR Accelerator class begins February 28, 2023.
