The 24/7 Employee

1/27/20262 min read

For over two years, a gentleman owned two rental units listed on multiple homestay platforms. Despite being available online and actively listed, the results were the same month after month:

  • ❌ No bookings

  • ❌ No income

  • ❌ Growing frustration and uncertainty

The property wasn’t generating revenue — and at that point, many owners would have given up.

That’s when Keep Going Stays stepped in.

The Problem Wasn’t the Property

One of the biggest misconceptions in short-term, mid-term, and corporate housing is that success depends on having a luxury unit or a perfect location.

This property proved the opposite.

  • The units were basic

  • Furnishings were minimal

  • The location wasn’t a “hot” tourist market

Yet none of those were the real issue.

The true problem was strategy.

Our Approach: Strategy Over Guesswork

At Keep Going Stays, we don’t rely on hope or outdated listing tactics. We apply a multi-layered revenue strategy that turns overlooked properties into income-producing assets.

Here’s exactly what we did:

1. Complete Marketing Revamp

We rebuilt the property’s marketing from the ground up:

  • Optimized listing titles and descriptions for search visibility

  • Repositioned the units to target high-intent renters

  • Highlighted value, functionality, and flexibility — not just aesthetics

Instead of trying to compete with luxury listings, we made the property stand out to the right audience.

2. Leveraging Our Corporate Housing Network

This is where most property owners fall short.

We tapped into our established corporate housing relationships, connecting the units with:

  • Traveling professionals

  • Contract workers

  • Insurance placements

  • Mid-term tenants looking for move-in-ready housing

These renters:

  • Stay longer

  • Pay consistently

  • Reduce vacancy and turnover

3. Homestay & Platform Relationships

Beyond standard platforms, we leveraged existing homestay relationships and off-market demand channels that most owners don’t have access to.

This allowed us to:

  • Fill gaps between bookings

  • Reduce dependence on a single platform

  • Maintain steady demand

4. Personal Digital Marketing

We didn’t rely solely on algorithms.

We actively marketed the property using:

  • Direct outreach

  • Digital placement strategies

  • Targeted demand funnels

The result? Immediate visibility where it mattered most.

The Result: $4,000 in One Month

Within one month, the owner went from making nothing to earning $4,000.

No major renovations. No expensive upgrades. No change in location.

Just the right strategy applied correctly.

What This Means for Property Owners

This case proves something important:

You do not need a perfect property to make strong rental income.

Whether your unit is:

  • Basic or fully furnished

  • In a major city or a smaller market

  • Underperforming or completely vacant

There is a way to monetize it effectively.

Our Promise at Keep Going Stays

At Keep Going Stays, we specialize in:

  • Turning underperforming rentals into income-producing assets

  • Creating demand regardless of location

  • Maximizing revenue with what you already have

If we can generate $4,000 in one month from a property that sat idle for over two years, we can do it for yours too.

Bottom Line

If you own a rental that:

  • Isn’t making money

  • Isn’t getting booked

  • Or you’re simply tired of guessing
