We’re Bringing Bailey!” Pet-Friendly Apartments (And Getting There Safely)

Traveling for work is a reality for many of us. Being away from family can be difficult, especially if it’s months at a time. It’s even worse when you have a pet. Trying to find quality, affordable care can be a chore, and boarding your pet can be stressful for the whole family. That’s why some choose to bring along their furry family member for corporate travel. But many hotels won’t allow non-service animals. Luckily, furnished housing for pets or pet-friendly apartments are easier to find these days thanks to the rise of furnished corporate rental listings by private owners.

Pet-Friendly Apartments

Get Ready, Get Set…

Before you ever step out the door, there are a number of things to thing about.

  • Look for CHBO pet-friendly apartments or homes that will guarantee that your animal will be welcomed.
  • Be sure that your pet is healthy enough to travel by scheduling an appointment with your veterinarian. Getting a veterinary health certificate can ease your mind and in some cases, it’s required when an animal will be residing in a new state or country.
  • An implanted microchip can make the process of finding a lost animal easier, but at the very least be sure you’ve updated their ID tags with your up-to-date contact information in your new location.
  • Contact the airline or travel agent to find out the regulations for traveling with pets. You may need to contact the US Department of Agriculture or Foreign Consulate for more information. In some cases, your employer can assist you in this process, but be sure to clearly understand the rules for the places you depart and arrive.
  • Be sure you’ve gathered their medicines and key documents like medical records, travel approvals, and health or acclimation certificates.
  • Pets traveling in an approved kennel should have an accurate collar or chip, a bed or blanket that smells like home, favorite toys, and a water or food dispenser used in crates. The American Humane Association also recommends you do not tranquilize or sedate your pet as it causes all sorts of health risks.

…Where to Go? Finding Furnished Housing for Pets (And You!)

CHBO offers thousands of furnished properties all over the country, many of which are pet-friendly apartments. You can refine your search by selecting “Yes” under “Accept Pets” on the CHBO Search Page. Or, if you are searching all the listings in the location of your assignment, you can check the property features column on the right side of the properties main page where it says “Pets: Yes” to confirm.

Beyond simply accepting pets, you can go further by checking if the area around the property is pet-friendly. Are there dog parks, hiking, and green spaces nearby? Would your outdoor pet have room to run in a backyard or community area? Are veterinarians and pet supply stores close? These extras can make the experience even better for your pet.

There’s no need to leave your family pet behind when you are traveling for work. Do a little homework, find that perfect CHBO property today, and enjoy continued quality time with your pets in your new home away from home tomorrow!

9 Reasons Why Short Term Apartments are Better

Posted on by Jeff Richards
1

Short term apartmentsWhen you learn you’ll be traveling on short-term business of a month or more, no doubt some of the first thoughts through your mind are “Where will I stay?” or “Will they put me up in a hotel?”  Traditionally, that answer has been “Yes.” Staying in a hotel for a long period, however, has it ups and downs. You have to deal with a rotating cast of staff members, reservation mix-ups, compete for the use of amenities, and a bunch of other hassles. Renting a short term apartments or corporate suite eliminates these hassles, so you can focus on your work. Here are 9 reasons it’s better to rent a short-stay apartment:

  1. Short-Stay Apartments are Economical: You can save 25-30% by renting short-term apartments over hotels as you aren’t paying on a per-night basis but a bulk fee based on a longer stay.
  2. There’s More Space: Hotel rooms, even suites, can be cramped even if you’re just staying a day or two. Stay for thirty days or more and you’ll be yearning for room to roam.
  3. The Feeling of Home: The impersonal style of hotels may work for a weekend, but with a longer stay you may feel homesick. Short stay apartments give you that “home away from home” feeling.
  4. It’s All Yours: And with a furnished corporate rental everything is yours to use as you please, with no (or less) competing for the swimming pool or washing machine.

Short term apartments for rent

 

  1. The Food is Better: It’s great not to have to do the dishes, but if you’ve ever stayed in a hotel for a month you know that you can only eat the hotel restaurant’s food so many times before you get tired of it. What they serve may not meet your dietary needs or desires, and you’ll certainly pay a premium to have that same cheeseburger. With your own furnished kitchen, you can prepare what you want, when you want it, make sure you’re getting food variety not possible from hotels, and not spend your entire per diem in the process.
  2. Laundry and Cleaning Service: Every morning you get a knock on the door at 7 AM to clean your room. It’s a luxury, but is it one you need? You can always opt out with “Do Not Disturb”…if they see the sign on your door. You may not know however, that many short-term stay apartments offer regular cleaning on a weekly, bi-weekly, or other basis. So you can still leave the deep cleaning to professionals. Laundry is another matter; why pay expensive dry cleaning and laundry fees, pump coins into the coin operated washer and dryer, or just do without, when you can rent a home with its own washer and dryer?
  3. The Amenities “Advantage”: Hotels can claim to offer amenities like an indoor or outdoor pool and spa, free Wi-Fi, gyms, common bars and restaurants, theaters, gyms, and perhaps a concierge service. However, with the rise in popularity of serviced apartments and corporate rentals, there are now many residential short stay apartments offering these same amenities to its residents, so you are sharing with fewer (or no) others.

 

Short term apartments - CHBO

  1. Bring Fido, It’s Pet Friendly!: Aside from service animals, hotels often have strict no pet policies. Corporate suites or a short-term apartment for rent may allow you to bring your pet along so you don’t have to board your pet or be away from him or her during your trip.
  2. Stay Where You Want To: Unlike hotels that tend to be clumped into areas of tourism, a short-term apartment or corporate rental has no such restrictions and can be anywhere within the destination you’re traveling to, giving you the chance to reduce your commute dramatically.

 

There are so many reasons why a Short term Apartments makes more sense for longer trips. CHBO offers thousands of great corporate rentals all across the country. Find that perfect rental apartment for your next business trip today!

All About Weird, Wild Austin

Moving to Austin? Texas’ capital is admittedly weird. It’s also the hottest relocation destination in Texas with high demand for furnished housing.  A pleasant climate and a great live music scene and lots of entertainment options, coupled with a strong economy, have created a boom. The University of Texas and the scene on Sixth Street has “hooked” more than 50,000 thousand students to this college town. Yet the city has preserved

The University of Texas and the scene on Sixth Street has “hooked” more than 50,000 thousand students to this college town. Yet the city has preserved it roots, and old mission style architecture can be seen side by side with skyscrapers and high-tech modern builds.  Hot, humid summer temps range from the 70’s to the high 90’s; but the winters are mild and inviting.

There is an artistic ambiance that is paired with a burgeoning technology and science scene. Founded in 1984, Dell Computer in nearby Round Rock was a harbinger of things to come, as the city has become a key destination for high-tech companies like Cognitive Scale, Ihiji, Golden Frog, Trendkite, Own Local, ActiveProspect, and many more.

Austin has grown 72% since 1990, the fastest growth anywhere outside of Las Vegas. The influx of residents has led to an increase in the supply of high quality housing; CorporateHousingByOwner includes some great options in furnished apartments. And while the town is growing fast, the cost of living is relatively low compared to other high tech hotbeds, and traffic isn’t yet at the same level either, and the apartments in Austin tend to match the affluence and tasteful style of its residents.

Fun and Entertainment in Austin

Austin is loaded with live music, led by the annual Austin City Limits festival and specializing in Texas country, bluegrass, and rock. Stevie Ray Vaughn got his start here, and Willie Nelson and Janis Joplin hail from here, too.  South Congress and Sixth Street are home to dozens of amazing restaurants, bars, and concert halls. The Moody Theater, The Zach Theater, and the Continental Club are examples of the dozens of top quality concert venues. Historical sites are plentiful and popular too. The State Capital, The Driskill Hotel, O. Henry Home and Museum, The Old Bakery and Emporium, Bremond Block and more highlight places to explore the history of the Lone Star state and its capital. River rafting, tubing, and small town ambiance beckon from the Hill Country; but outdoor fun can be had even closer at Zilker Park and the Zilker Botanical Garden, the Ladybird Hike-and-Bike Trail, Graffiti Park at Castle Hills, Mount Bonnell, and Mayfield Park Cottage. Lake Travis northwest of the city is a popular spot for water sports.

Where to Find Austin Furnished Apartments

 If you are you planning a move or relocation for work and need temporary housing, demand here is high – so you should move quickly to find the best property. There are dozens of available short term and extended stay apartments in Austin available on CHBO.

How Do I Price My Property As A Corporate Rental

Posted on by Jeff Richards
Reply

The decision to rent out your property as a corporate rental can lead to a lucrative income stream. If you’ve chosen to list your property, there are many decisions to make such as minimum stay duration, what renovations are needed to get your home ready, what upgrades and decor may best meet client needs, and many others. But one of the most important questions is how to price your property appropriately. In making that decision, there are a lot of factors to consider.

What is your market value?

Your home’s market value is one important consideration. Typically, the rents that landlords set fall between 0.8% and 1.1% of the home’s value. For example, a home valued at $500,000 could charge between $4,000 and $5,500 per month.

Corporate Housing Pricing

Another factor are the services you choose to include. Many corporate rentals include cable or satellite TV, high-speed internet, paid utilities, and cleaning, landscaping, pool maintenance and other services. Should you decide to pass along the charge for regular maid service, for example, that needs to be included in the rent amount.

Whether your rental home is furnished or not is another key to setting the right price. An unfurnished home usually requires a one year minimum contract, but furnished homes usually offer rates for stays as short as a month. Rents tend to be higher when the stay is shorter. CREFCOA, the Commercial Real Estate Finance Company of America, offers a Gross Rent Calculator (GRM) for unfurnished properties that you can use as a guide for pricing your furnished space.

Furnished Housing Pricing

Furnishing the home is key

How you furnished your home is another part of the price. What sort of amenities or upgrades have you included? Is a washer and dryer included? How about a Jacuzzi, rainfall shower, new appliances, or game room, etc.? Is the property CHBO Complete? Are your property photos CHBO certified photos? What about the quality level of furniture and décor? Did you hire an interior designer? How you have furnished your home can be a major indicator of how much rent is appropriate.

Consider the external factors as well. What advantages or disadvantages come with your home’s location, in terms of access to both entertainment and commute to major employers nearby? How easy is it to access or to park? Can you walk to nearby offices or attractions? What is my home’s walk score? What sort of curb appeal does the property have? You can even consider local hotel room rates in determining the rent, with the understanding that hotel daily rates are much more considering they don’t require a thirty day notice to vacate and tend to be much more short term.

CHBO offers a rent calculator and can help to answer these questions. The calculator factors your home’s location, value, size, and furnishings and sends you a report. Once you’ve worked it and any other important factors, you are well on your way to setting the right rental price.

Why use CHBO to market your rental property?

There are many factors to consider when you decide to make your property available for rental. To whom will you market, for what duration of stay, and at what rental cost? How will you market the property? How will ensure it’s maintained and ready to turnover with each new guest? There are a lot of things to consider, and your decisions will have a major impact on the success of your executive rental. Fortunately, a decision to market your corporate rental with CHBO takes some of the guesswork and uncertainty out of this process. How?

Value of Corporate Housing by Owner

  • Corporate short or long term rentals are the best path to maximizing your rental rate. Traditional leases yield 8-10 times lower rent on average versus the rates that corporate renters are able to offer for high quality executive rental accommodations. Large companies looking for executive rentals seek a higher quality experience than a hotel can offer, providing a better of quality of life and a feeling of “home” for their clients, and therefore will pay a premium for executive rental properties that can deliver. Rates can be bench marked against local hotel nightly rates to ensure your property is appropriately priced.

 

  • Vacation rental sites can also yield higher rates, but with major drawbacks. Short stays of a week or less, compared to the corporate rental clients who tend to stay 30 days or even months at a time, mean more work associated with turnover as well as fewer booked days. Another benefit of corporate rental clientele is that the tenants present less risk. This is manifested in a couple of different ways. First, corporate or executive clients travelling on business take better care of your property as they are representing their employers or their company. Secondly, fewer rental guests means less turnover, less paperwork, and fewer instances that inventory will need to be replaced or new guests will need to be vetted.

 

  • There are more opportunities for exposure with corporate rentals. For example, traveling doctors or nurses, employee relocations, traveling salesmen and real estate agents, insurance adjusters, military personnel, and professors are among the large variety of clients needing high quality corporate rental properties.

 

CHBO’s network leverages years of experience in the executive rental market targeting large companies with the resources and high quality client base to help take the guesswork out of marketing your property and ensure success.  Get started marketing your property with CHBO today!
