We’re continuing our blog series to share key findings from the 2011 “By Owner” Corporate Housing Report, an annual survey sponsored by CHBO to better understand the “by owner” rental marketplace. The latest report was released in January 2012 based on 2011 trends. If you’re going to offer your property as a furnished, short-term rental (aka, a corporate rental), then you want to have good reason for doing so. One reason may be to serve the need of a target audience. In the 2011 “By Owner” Corporate Housing Annual Survey, we asked landlords what were some of the reasons...

Business Travelers Should Consider Renter’s Insurance

Recently, Corporate Housing By Owner partnered with Travel Guard and offered a webinar to provide landlords with information on renter’s insurance options for their tenants. As a business traveler, you may think insurance is just for the owners or landlords of corporate rentals (it’s not your flat screen television or expensive furniture). However, you may want to (re)consider the following: Renter’s insurance will cover your personal belongings in case of a fire, flood or any liability issues.  If the property you are renting experiences any damage from the outside elements, the owner’s insurance will cover expenses and repairs. But...

Why Travelers Choose CHBO Over Hotels and Extended Stays

There are many reasons that travelers make extended stays in specific cities or regions. Though many might experience a “knee jerk reaction” of thinking about booking their stay in some sort of hotel or property designed for extended stays, many are reconsidering. Instead, the ever-increasing trend is toward booking stays in CBHO or corporate housing by owner properties. There are many reasons, and these include: Hotels and extended stays are typically far more expensive. Most extended stays are designed for convenience and for business travelers only, this can make them extremely cold, generic and very uncomfortable. For example, imagine...

Furnished homes and Apartments – Best Choice for Travelers 

According to our 2014 Annual Report, we discovered that the greatest number of independent corporate housing real estate rentals is one bedroom rentals which represent 41% of those surveyed, while around 29% said that their properties featured three or more bedrooms. In the full service corporate housing field, things were a bit different with 50% of the rentals being one-bedroom units. Those who are traveling alone find that small apartments and condominiums tend to be the best choice when it comes to their needs for furnished homes. Both the independent and the full service corporate housing sectors tend to have their  own niches that they fill. Independent services can cater to those who need to have  larger spaces, while full service corporate housing seems to have smaller units that are  ideal for those who are traveling alone.    Why Choose a Smaller Apartment? A one-bedroom, and in some cases a two-bedroom unit, is generally a perfect solution  for those who are traveling on their own for a number of different reasons. First, the  smaller units tend to have lower prices than larger units in the same area with  comparable features. Second, the solo traveler does not need to have as much space.  They aren’t traveling with other coworkers or family, so the extra space is unnecessary.   ...
