We moved one of our 2BR units to 100% mid-term stays after burning out on the STR turnover hamster wheel. No regrets. The guests are amazing — travel nurses are quiet, respectful, and just want a clean comfortable place close to the hospital. The income is ~20% lower but the mental load is probably 80% lower. Depends what's more important to you at this stage.

I do both! 2 of my properties are STR-only and 1 is exclusively on Furnished Finder + Airbnb monthly stays. The numbers: - **STR average:** $3,200/mo revenue, ~$600 in expenses (cleaning, supplies, etc.) = ~$2,600 net - **Mid-term average:** $2,400/mo revenue, ~$100 in expenses = ~$2,300 net So the net difference is smaller than you'd think because your costs drop so dramatically with mid-term. One clean per month vs 6-8 turnovers. Way less wear and tear. No dynamic pricing to manage. Furnished Finder is legit for travel nurse markets. If you're near a major hospital, you will get bookings. The platform charges a flat annual fee ($100 or so) instead of per-booking commissions. I'd recommend keeping your best-performing properties as STR and converting your lowest performer to mid-term. Best of both worlds.
