Since coronavirus, one thing that most investors who own short-term rental properties like Airbnb’s, across the United States have in common is that bookings from their short-term rentals have all but dried up.
Even though the president and most Governors are eager to reopen economies following coronavirus, the reality is that it's going to take the short-term rental market at least one year to recover.
This is largely because since most people have been living off their emergency funds for the last 2 months and once people go back to work, they're going to be more focused on rebuilding their emergency funds rather than taking trips or booking Airbnb’s again.
How Long Should You Rent Your Property For?
If your goal is to ultimately be back in the game when it comes to renting out your short-term rental property then you should convert it into a long-term rental only for a period of six months. Renting it out to a tenant for 6 months will provide you with options and give you the ability to turn that property back into a long-term rental by early next year.
How long does it take to convert a short-term rental into a long-term rental property? The answer to this question is it could be done almost immediately, regardless if your property is furnished or not.
