There are various factors that go into pricing a property including furniture, utilities, overhead and other associated costs. A corporate housing landlord should continuously monitor the area for trends. Investigate the pricing of other local corporate rentals, hotels and extended stays and how they adjust pricing depending on seasonal fluctuations and events in the area.
