Now, as the CEO of Furnished Finder, he sits at the center of a massive shift in how Americans move and live. In this episode, we explore why the 30-to-90-day market is booming—driven by a housing shortage, professional mobility, and a wave of new regulations hitting short-term rentals. Jeff breaks down the data behind "skilled trade" tenants, the aging-in-place ADU trend, and how to underwrite for safety in an uncertain market.
