I try too only do mid term rentals now days. I have about 3 that are LTR, 2 STR and 11 MTR. The difference is first taxes. I am not being charged a hotel tax from the city. I keep all utilities in my name and it’s all inclusive, fully furnished utilities paid and internet, I charge$2500 a month for 2 bed 1 bath. And I charge$2900 a month for 3 bed 2 bath. We have many that come into town for work for 3 months or so. Or Those waiting to get home. Built or closing on new homes. So I advertise towards realtors and roofing companies or insurance companies. We also have contract doctors or nurses that are on 3-7 month assignments and ,military that come in for captains career course or AIT training., or SLC. I stay booked.
I normally do month to month with consideration for me as well as for them. Many as soon as they now it will be their last month or only have a week left on their contracts allow me to be able to advertise again. I let them know I wont charge them so long as they have the consideration towards me and all have been very good about letting me know immediately. Sometimes when a nurse or doctor’s contracts are not renewed I get informed sometimes last minute. I write up my own leases that are structured toward Oklahoma landlord tenant act. I also have two homes I do room rentals in. But these have to be at least 4 rooms or more to me. I lease master out for 600 and each other room for 550. If they want a driveway parking spot that’s an extra 25/mo. I have some that have been with me for 8 years and these are only months to month. Many single soldiers or ones whose family stays where they were last stationed.
