How do I build up Mid-term rentals in Kansas City Mo?

[Jonathan2634]

I can't get a license for short term rentals in Kansas City (the city refuses to issue any licenses), so I'm losing $ every month because the in-between times are a complete loss and the house doesn't stay booked.  I am trying to use Lodgify and list on multiple sites. I have workout equipment, games, patio, full kitchen, King and 2 queen beds, Smart TV's, and Kids Play area.  I'm just seeing if there is another fresh take on something else I can add?  Does anyone add pictures of things to do in the city in their photos?

You need to find your market and then you entice then,  Haha

A home near a medical center reading your review I thought wow I never thought of t6hat  A family spot while mom is receiving treatment.    Talk about  the great ability to work still and think about a 30 day stay but maybe different family members during the month,  Son 2 weeks then daughter two weeks.  Especially if cancer treatment is happening,  Hospitals all have social workers on staff which helps families find resources set up a good plan sell the social workers and they will advertise for you.

Also network with realtors. Families buyo sometime need a month or two spot

Contract medical is better than student just I think your homes are beautiful so you want that appreciation.  Look on the internet like  your a nurse or therapists like physical are contracted

Promote your Airbnb site to the agencies again sell them you have free advertising..

Hey @Jonathan2634 👋

Wowee, you sound like you've got sooo many amenities for your guests (you'd have a full house on our amenities bingo game!)

I love @Marie8425's idea about reaching out to medical professionals, do you think this is something you might explore?

@Rebecca I've reached out to the social work department at Children's Mercy Hospital and KUMC with no return E-mail and no word at all.  I haven't heard anything from the medical recruiters I know that place Anesthesia Providers but I keep trying them as well.  I have also just signed up with lodgify and tried to add a website KansasCityAreaFurnishedHousing.com through lodgify but that doesn't seem to be active yet.  I also have KCMTR.com that I am working on as a possible direct booking site that will hopefully draw in by google keywords in the future.  I am trying to link these along with the other.  It's just getting all things to work together and taking the time to get all things up and running. I have been working with the lodgify app for a week to make sure I don't mess that up while turning over after some messy tenants that didn't do well in KC.  I am making a pilot themed Airbnb in the birthplace town for Amelia Earhart about an hour outside KC and it is finally looking closer to what I had envisioned.  I work full time in hospitals around the country and come home to work my tail off for a week and then return to my out of town computer and calls action.  So the next week and a half will be web-building and attempting to advertise more with the word getting out more!
