I am a little confused by the direction of your question.  So you purchase properties and you have someone interested in leasing from you and then arbitraging the unit with your consent?

Unfortunately, there's not yet a great resource for medium-term rentals to estimate revenue or occupancy. You've got AirDNA, Rabbu, etc. for short-term rentals; and Rentometer for long-term rentals, but nothing for MTRs. And even with a site like AirDNA, we're looking closer at the underlying STR comps with our clients to see what other vacation rentals are doing.

Maybe find a few rentals that are similar to yours and near you on Furnished Finder or Airbnb and reach out to the owners. They may not respond, but it doesn't hurt to ask them how their occupancy is. 

If it tells you anything, our midterm rentals in Colorado Springs and Denver are about 95% occupied. We have between 1-2 weeks vacancy each year and that's mostly self-imposed so we have time to fix small things and clean up. But they're in good locations, we have furnished them with a little bit of style, and got professional photographs. 

If you want further help, you might check out my wife's YouTube channel. It's nothing but MTR videos. Her name's @Erin Spradlin. She's easy to find on YT.
