Looking to buy vacation home in Tucson

[Jon Yost]

I am looking for a realtor who specializes in short-term rentals in the Tucson area. Can anyone recommend one?

Hey @Eric Bilderback! So in regards to STRs here in Tucson, you have a couple of options. 

1. You can optimize furnished finder, which is a short-term rental service specifically for traveling medical staff. This is a great option if you have units close to any one of the hospitals. We have about 10 that I can think of. Some of my buddies who do this say they are making about 1.5 times (conservatively) what they'd normally get renting it out to a long-term tenant.

2. You can optimize Airbnb. Personally, I know of a couple of guys who do this service in town and they have had no issues with vacancies. However, personally, I'm more conservative and like the idea of housing traveling medical staff as you can set a min 30 day stay where they sign a lease and have options to stay longer if they want. Seems like a lot less turnover. 

Feel free to send me a PM if you'd like some more detailed info :)
