Which is better long or short term rentals

 


LONG V's SHORT

So you have a room to rent in an office, Clinic or practice, how do you maximise it to create an income stream from this extra space.

There are two main methods - Long and Short term rentals. 

Before we discuss the method to choose, their are a few assumptions.  

1. You will take all the costs, light heat, Insurance and repairs. 

2. Your space needs to be set up in a neutral way, provide a simple design and layout, creating a private space for your user(s). Some will like a bright room some a dark. It very easy to create the correct environment for very little investment. We will do a blog on this topic later,

-where to source the best furnishings. 

-create a neutral space which will work for all therapist and
medical users.

LONG TERM ROOMS


Assume you request  500 per month for 12 months this equates to 6000 per annum. 

 thats it, you hopefully get a good tenant and in return provide a nice room, your monthly income is set.

So for a small bit more work, you can increase the income per room quite considerably

Lets do the figures, 

Assuming you make your room available  from 8am to 7pm Monday to Friday and  9am to 5pm on Saturday, thats 63 hours in a week.

at 10 hours per week for 12 euro per hour for 50 weeks is (10x12x50=6000) same as the long term. but using only 15% of the hours available.

 at 20 hours per week = 12,000 Per annum

 at 30 hours per week = 18,000 per annum just 50%  of the available hours.

 

SUMMARY


By switching to short term sessional rental, add in a little extra work, you can potentially triple your yearly income, increasing it from 6,000 for long term to 18,000 per annum with sessional rental and its still only 50% occupancy. 

THE SALES PITCH 

The main stumbling block to maximising you room is how to show availability to your customers, we live in a fast world where customers can book anything in minutes, so to achieve this higher return you will have to use some sort of software, its just not possible to admin, book, cancel and re-arrange 30 bookings per week, its possible but will test your metal.


You can add 3rd party booking software to your website or page, alternatively you could check out Therapy Rooms purpose build booking system. everything is automated, notifications, cancelations and payments. 

 Our online booking is coming Jan 2018. thats it sales pitch over, send us a mail if interested.

Discovering a Therapist Who Can Support You Heal

  There are thousands of therapists out there, but it’s not easy to assess their qualifications, particularly in the throes of a crisis. Here’s our guide to finding help. You may see the words “counselling” and “psychotherapy” and wonder what the difference is. With so many phone numbers and Ad Hoc Office therapyils you could use, for the uninitiated it’s a bit like putting a pin in an online map and hoping that the person who answers will be kind to you. When you have reached that difficult moment of emotional crisis where you’ve decided to reach out to a psychology professional, you will probably look online. Cue confusion. You see bewildering lists of accreditation letters – ICP, IACP, PSI, IAHIP, FTAI to name a few - and you notice that there appear to be several methods - Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Constructivist Psychotherapy, Couple and Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Humanistic Integrative psychotherapy.
