Today’s consumers are looking for alternative accommodation choices.
Although furnished accommodation is a newer trend in the US, it is already the norm overseas. In London for example, 82% of rental stock is furnished.
People value convenience and flexibility. No one enjoys renting an empty apartment, moving boxes, buying and then assembling furniture, and committing to a 12-month lease.
When we tour apartment communities, leasing agents tell us that every day prospective residents ask for furnished accommodation.
So we wondered: why not give them what they want?

Lodgeur has paid over $218,000 to the building’s owner, or $1,784 per apartment each month (vs. $1,219 average effective rent).
No capital contribution was required by the community.

We understand you work hard to keep your residents happy so that they renew their leases. Nobody should have to experience their neighbors throwing a party (or worse).
Through our Responsible Hospitality Program we avoid the problems created by rogue or amateur short-term operators. Your community manager will always know who is in the building.

Lodgeur hosts carefully screened business and leisure travelers.
Three-quarters of our guests are in town on business or as part of a relocation for work. People also rent for visits to the Medical Center, to visits friends and family, and to discover Houston.
The majority of our occupancy is guests staying 30 nights or more. These include travel nurses, interns, expats, and digital nomads. While our focus is on these longer stays, allowing shorter stays maximizes occupancy and revenues
Before Covid impacted travel, Lodgeur hosted three times more international guests than the Houston average for Airbnb.
Schedule a call with us, and we’ll analyze your building’s potential, perform a site visit, and send a proposal for your review. We have options that require zero capital to convert your units. We’re a full service manager: give us the keys and we’ll create cash flow.
