Allowing Someone to use my rental property as a short term / Medium Term Rental
I have a 2/1 800 sq ft, house in Durham, NC. I have been unable to rent it for about 5 months now and I am not seeing the price point I was desiring when I closed on it (around $1700-1800). Currently property management has it listed at $1450 and still struggling to get a renter in even during the summer season. My mortgage on the property is $1773 and it is a brand new construction.
Today I was approached by someone who is offering me around $1800-1900/month to rent the property from me to run a short term / medium term rental out of it, primarily for traveling nurses or other business people. They would pay all utilities and maintenance on the property and provide 2 months security deposit.
My question is, is this to good to be true? Should I have concerns or is this a legitimate opportunity? What are the questions I need to be asking?
Thanks for your help everyone!
