Get Paid For Your Pad | Airbnb Hosting | Vacation Rentals | STR Revenue Management Leverage Long-Term Stays to Maximize Occupancy
Many companies are shifting their employees to working remotely, allowing many people the flexibility to live more of a nomadic lifestyle.
This has led the 30-plus day stays to become the fastest growing category on Airbnb right now.
But what are the pros and cons? And is it profitable?
