Houston AirBNB/Short & Medium Term Rentals

[Brian Nel]

I'm considering converting my unit to a furnished short or medium term rental. Like all of us in Houston not directly in downtown/midtown, there's not much in the way of walk-able attraction which is unlike AirBNBs I've stayed in personally.

I would like to hear from anyone else doing STR:

• what your common tenant is like (business, families, vacationers, etc),
• what lengths of stays,
• occupancy and 
• seasonality you experience. 

I had a friend pull STR comps so I know my expected annual revenue is roughly 150% that of long term rental however I will need to recoup costs from furnishing.
