Do this with your monthly rental (seasonal strategy)
Summary
To maximize your rental income with minimal effort, consider a hybrid seasonal strategy: leverage short-term rentals during peak seasons like summer when demand is high and rates are better, then switch to mid-term rentals (monthly stays) during the off-season to minimize vacancy and operational hassles. Avoid pre-committing to short rentals months in advance, because it could cause you to miss out on longer more profitable bookings.
