Tenant screening is an important aspect of being a corporate housing landlord, but sometimes it can seem overwhelming. In some cases, a landlord will skip the background check & credit check, whether because they aren’t sure how to handle it or because of the belief that it will cost too much. However, CHBO has worked hard to remove all of the guesswork out of the process by partnering with TransUnion with the MySmartMove program.

All you need to do to start your first background or credit check on a tenant is visit the MySmartMove page which is located at chbo.mysmartmove.com.

The Rise of Mid-Term Rentals: What Investors Need to Know

 

The rental market looks different from what it did just a few years ago. Short-term rentals still attract vacationers, but many investors are noticing a new sweet spot in mid-term rentals. These stays, usually lasting one to six months, are meeting the needs of traveling professionals, displaced families, and digital workers who want more than a hotel room. For investors, this trend opens up an opportunity to rethink their rental strategy and build steady, reliable income.

 

Why Insurance Claims and Travel Nurses Fuel Mid-Term Rentals

 

When a family’s home is damaged and they’re waiting on repairs, or when a travel nurse takes a three-month assignment, they’re not looking for a weeklong Airbnb. They need flexible furnished apartments where they can live comfortably during the transition.

 

These tenants are often backed by insurance companies or stable contracts, which makes them dependable. For investors, that means fewer headaches and a stronger chance of consistent rental occupancy.

 

Short-Term Rentals are Slowing; Mid-Term Demand is Surging

 

Tourism can be unpredictable. One season, your short-term rental is booked solid, and the next it is sitting empty. With new regulations and heavy competition, short-term markets feel less stable. Mid-term rentals are filling the gap.

 

Corporate travelers, digital workers, and relocating families are driving steady demand for housing that bridges the gap between a weekend stay and a year-long lease. For investors, that shift means more reliable bookings and less downtime between tenants.

 

Furnished Apartments as the New Standard in Investment Rentals

 

If you want success with mid-term rentals, the property has to be ready for tenants on day one. That means offering furnished apartments with reliable Wi-Fi, a stocked kitchen, and comfortable furniture. Tenants want convenience and ease, not a bare space that feels temporary.

 

Well-prepared investment rentals stand out from the competition, and that allows owners to charge higher rates while keeping tenants longer. The upfront work quickly pays for itself through stronger returns.

 

Rental Strategy Shifts That Every Investor Should Watch For

 

The investors who thrive this year will be the ones who stay flexible. Offering mid-term rentals, tracking local demand, and adjusting pricing to keep rental occupancy high are all essential.

 

If you understand who your tenants are, whether they are travel nurses, families in transition, or corporate professionals, you can align your rental strategy with their needs. That alignment is what will bring long-term stability and profitability to your rental portfolio.

High walk score means living within walking distance to grocery stores, shops etc [og_description] => [og_image] => [post_content] =>

I recently learned about walk scores; apparently I'm one of the clueless people who didn't know about this exciting phenomenon. Walk scores can help you access where you want to live or stay - especially if being within walking distance to your daily errands is top priority. A high walk score means you can walk to do daily errands and that you live within walking distance to grocery stores, shops, banks, schools, gyms and even work. A low score means you need a car in order to get anywhere - in other words, you're "car dependent." There also are transit and bike scores that judge the same thing - your home or rental property's distance to daily errands via public transportation or bike. There's definitely something special and worth bragging about if your walk score is high.

 

According to WalkScore.com, people who live in "walkable" neighborhoods weigh 6-10 pounds less, are happier and less stressed, and are more involved in their communities. Plus, I'd stick my neck out to say high walk scores can attract more tenants who might enjoy walking a city and not having the expense of having to rent a car. To check if your corporate rental has a walk score worth bragging about, simply enter your address into the WalkScore.com's database, and it will spit out your walk score quicker than you can drive to the bank! When I calculated my personal residence's walk score, I got some bad news. It was an 18, meaning I'm car dependent. That is often the case for suburbanites like me who opt for a bigger home away from the hustle and bustle. What about you? What is your property's walk score and is it worth bragging about on your CHBO property listing? Sound off in the comments section.
