MTR requests over thinking it?

[Steve Smith]

I have a Airbnb with a 30 day stay min. due to HOA restrictions. I have been renting out since January of this year with an average stay of 85 days. My current tenant checks out in August 15th.

I just received a request for November 1st through December 4th. I’m hesitant to accept it because I’m concerned that it will not rent in December and may limit rentals from August 15th - October 31st.

I have a feeling I’m over thinking this and want this awesome community input.

Thanks!

Depends on your market. Do you have people in your market who need a MTR for 2 months? Is there enough demand for those that you can have reasonable confidence of getting a booking for that gap? When we take a booking that leaves a gap like that, it’s always for a higher rate to make it worthwhile for reducing the value of the vacant gap.
