Struggling to rent my place on a short-term basis...
Hello! I have a high-end furnished home in an amazing location in Dallas.
I am not sure how long it will be available but it would be between 3-6 months. (The ambiguity is that I am selling the home but the closing date is uncertain.)
Would appreciate any recommendations for a way to get this home rented for at least a couple of months as a stopgap solution for someone. Have not had luck with AirBnB, CraigsList or VRBO or even with a street sign (which usually draws a lot of attention)... despite a rock-bottom price. At a certain point it just becomes too much trouble to rent if I cannot command a reasonable fee.
Anyway, this is the first time I have struggled so mightily since I started renting in 2002 -- usually have competing offers. But I am learning short-term executive rentals are tougher.
Thanks much!
