Furnished Rental

[matt]

I’ve just learned we need to return to San Diego for 2 months for medical treatment at UCSD and am really struggling to find a nice furnished affordable rental for me and my family (2 adults, 3 kids). I’ve tried craigslist (full of scammers), vrbo (impossible to find something vacant over the summer), local realtors, etc.

I am posting in case their are any pigg’s with a place they would like to rent from late June to late Aug. Or if anyone has any suggestions… I am getting so desperate i’m thinking about buying a place and renting it out once we leave!

When do you need the rental?

[matt]

Jun 27 but flexible until August 26 also flexible

Wow that’s coming quick. Normally people book way in advance. But you probably don’t have that luxury with medical treatment.

I tried to talk my parents into taking a holiday and renting out the house, haha… But no can do. Old people are not flexible. If it were me, I’d do it.

In Vegas, I’m renting out my condo to a guy for a month for the World Series of Poker. He’s a pretty well-rated professional gambler.

Yes, I remember the vacation rental near the beach you posted about. That might be perfect for the OP. And it will allow you to trying the vacation/short-term rental market as a landlord.

I highly recommend padmapper.com as it shows everything on a map, pulls from multiple data sources, and has great filtering options. That said, I don’t see an explicit filter for “Furnished”, but you could probably put that under Show More Filters/Keywords.

You could try looking at
http://www.oakwood.com and doing a search.

If by some chance (hopefully not) the medical care is for a child, you could look at:

Ronald McDonald House

Good luck!

bibsoconner, did you ever stay at an Oakwook apartment?

It looks like they negotiate with apartment communities to place their short-term tenants.

I stayed at the large Oakwood complex in Falls Church, VA for 10 weeks.

It was a nice 12 minute walk to the Metro, had a big pool, and was pretty nice inside, though the furniture was somewhat worn. There was nothing else within walking distance other than a strip mall 20 minutes away with mostly Vietnamese places.

However, I regretted I was out in the ‘burbs when DC itself is much more interesting and fun.

The price was extremely high. I wasn’t paying, but I really wished my company had just given me a stipend rather than set me up with Oakwood.

I wonder what is the normal price for a furnished rental that includes utilities. It seems like 3 times rent of a regular unfurnished unit within the same complex.

Did you get full cable w/ HBO?
