But from reading the replies it might be a combination of method and market/supply issues.

I provided a gift basket which contained the following: (call me crazy) Laundry Basket (new to hold the items and because no washer/dryer in unit but onsite)Small Tide Pods package (to get that starter load going)Cascade Platinum package for dishwasher (probably a years supply cost like $10 at Target)Swiffer new for laminate floors to keep clean ($20?)

That's why month to month is good only in high demand places where ROI or cap rate is pretty low: there is not enough supply for the demand.
