Shorter to mid-term rental management
Earn more than a 12-month lease. Skip the second job.
We place traveling nurses, business professionals, families and vacation guests in furnished homes. You get a monthly payout and a statement. We handle the rest, from anywhere.
Who stays in your home
Vetted guests who need a furnished place for weeks or months.
Traveling nurses
On 8 to 13 week hospital assignments. Quiet, working professionals.
Business travelers
Relocating or on a project, often booked by their company.
Insurance housing
Families who need a temporary home while theirs is repaired.
Vacation guests
Short stays in homes near what people travel to see.
Why shorter-term
More income and more control than a long-term lease.
Owners pick 12-month leases so they can set it and forget it. We give you that same hands-off feel, with the upside of shorter stays.
12-month lease
- One tenant, one rent check, for a full year
- Listed on one or two sites
- You may not see inside your home until move-out
- Problems surface when the lease ends
With The Rental Advantage
- Shorter stays can often earn 1.5 to 2 times long-term rent
- Listed across several booking and housing sites
- Your home is cleaned and checked after every stay
- Use the home yourself when you book dates ahead
Income depends on the home, the area and the season. We don't promise a set amount, which is why the guarantee below exists.

Peace of mind
Built for owners who worry about their home.
Stays are covered
Bookings come with the booking platforms' host damage protection, and we carry our own policy on top. We still recommend you keep your own property insurance.
You stay in the loop
Your home is cleaned and looked over after every stay, so issues are caught in days, not at the end of a lease.
You stay in control
Repairs over $250 need your OK. Block dates for yourself any time they aren't already booked.
About us
It started with our own upstairs.
We bought a big house that used to be a duplex. We didn't need all of it, so we turned the upstairs into a rental: two bedrooms, one bath, a small kitchen, and the attic as the living room.
That unit showed us what shorter stays can do. It earned more than a long-term tenant would have, and because it was cleaned between guests, we always knew the condition of our home.
Most owners stick with 12-month leases because they don't want to run a rental. The Rental Advantage takes that work off your plate, so you get the higher income without the stress.
Questions
What owners ask us.
Don't see yours? Call or email and we'll answer it.
Is this just Airbnb?
Airbnb is one of several sites we use. We also list on VRBO, Booking.com and Furnished Finder, and work with guests coming through travel nursing and insurance housing. More channels means fewer empty nights.
Do you work in my area?
Most likely. We're a fully remote company and work with homes anywhere. We coordinate local cleaners and repair people for your home.
Does my home need to be furnished?
Yes. We work with furnished homes. If yours isn't furnished yet, you'll need to furnish it before we go live. We'll tell you what guests expect so you don't overspend.
What about parties or damage?
We screen every guest and focus on longer, professional stays like traveling nurses and corporate housing. Stays are also covered by platform host protection and our own policy.
Who pays for repairs?
You do, since it's your home. We ask for your approval first. If something urgent comes up and we can't reach you, we can spend up to $250 to fix it so the guest isn't left waiting.
Can I use my home myself?
Yes. Book your dates with us in advance, as long as a guest hasn't already reserved them. We'll clean after your stay.
Is there an upfront cost?
There's a $500 start-up deposit, which we credit back to you out of our first commission payouts. You also cover a one-time deep clean and the photo shoot.
Can I cancel?
Yes. After the first 3 months, either side can end it with 30 days' notice. Leaving inside the first 3 months has a $500 break fee.
