Fed Finjap Reflecting on my first year house hacking a 3-flat in Chicago
2 January 2025 | 11 replies

Furnished Finder is a good idea, even if the fit with travel nurses hasn’t been ideal—it might be worth exploring other platforms for mid-term renters or marketing directly to local families in need of temporary housing.One thought: consider offering seasonal promotions or themed packages to draw in more guests, like holiday stays or discounts for longer weekends.
