How to get started in Corporate Housing

[Kevin Hassold]

I have recently come across some units in an ideal location to set up corporate housing. Has anyone dealt with corporate housing before and have any dos/donts or tips on how to structure these types of rentals with companies?

Are you buying these units or subletting? 

If you think the bulk of your guests will come from these employers, it's good to get in touch with their HR dept. (housing coordinators if they have them) and understand what their needs are first. You can supplement the bookings by advertising on Airbnb and a couple of corporate housing websites. Some corporations have contracts with national corporate housing companies and others let their employees choose. I don't know Houston at all but if the units are indeed well-located, you should be able to penetrate the market. There's more to it of course but you can start with that.
