Furnished Finder vs AirBnb

Isabella Romano
Posted

Hi,

I'm new to the community and trying to figure out the best site to list my rental property on. This property is in Albuquerque NM which is not a particularly popular vacation spot. We would like to do a furnished rental for 1-3month leases. The property is very close the the local hospital, medical school and university so it would be ideal for traveling hospital workers/nurses/students. I was wondering if anyone has used furnished finder? What are the benefits of this site compared to listing on airbnb or VRBO?

Thanks!

Hey @Isabella Romano

It sounds like given the situation of how close your property is to the hospitals/med school/university I would recommend using a furnished finder as your main marketing platform. But, I would also advise on still listing on Airbnb/VRBO with a minimum booking length of 1-month so you can focus on consumers looking to rent on a medium-term/long-term basis. 

Also, another recommendation I would have is listed across other rental platforms like Zillow, Apartments.com, or Turbotenant. These platforms usually target consumers looking to rent on a medium-term/long-term basis. 

If you have any more questions don't hesitate to reach out! 

All the best,

Josh
