Turn Your Property into a High-Yield Corporate Asset

Investment Services: The "Soft Landing" Strategy

Unlock 30-50% higher returns than traditional leasing by partnering with North Carolina’s premier Mid-Term Rental (MTR) specialists. We don’t just “host”—we execute a strict Business Process Blueprint.

The CFR Operational Standard

Why choose CFR over self-management?

We operate on a strict Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that removes the emotion and variability from rental management. While you enjoy passive income, we execute a rigorous “Launch Sequence” and maintenance protocol designed to protect your asset and maximize occupancy.

What is the “Soft Landing” model?
We do not market to vacationers or party-goers. We provide housing for people in transition. Our “Hub & Spoke” location strategy targets stable, high-quality tenants in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Holly Springs, and Wilmington.

Our Ideal Partner Properties

To protect guest experience, earnings, and brand integrity, we maintain a curated portfolio. Here’s what we look for:

Property Condition

All homes in our portfolio must be updated to meet modern standards. If a property is not currently renovated, the owner must be willing and financially able to make necessary updates.
We offer access to our trusted renovation team, and for owners who have signed a marketing or management agreement with us, we coordinate all contractor work at no additional charge. This ensures the property aligns with our brand quality while keeping the process simple and efficient for you.

Standard Furnishings

If the home is not already furnished, we will handle furnishing it to meet our established design and quality standards. The typical cost to the owner for a fully furnished 3-bedroom home is approximately $13,000, which includes all major furniture, kitchen essentials, linens, and professional setup.
To maintain consistency and efficiency, owners may not supply or purchase furnishings independently. We use vetted vendors, wholesale sources, and streamlined processes to ensure the property is guest-ready quickly and aligned with the Carolina Furnished Rentals brand.

We do not accept every property – we protect the value of your home by maintaining the quality of our portfolio.

Going beyond the norm

The Owner Onboarding Workflow

Can I furnish the property myself?
No. To ensure operational efficiency and consistent guest experiences, CFR manages the entire setup. We use standardized furnishings that are durable, stylish, and easily replaceable.

How does CFR prepare my property for the market?
We follow a detailed internal launch protocol to ensure your home is “Arb-Ready” (Arbitrage Ready) before the first guest arrives:

Readiness Evaluation:

We conduct an initial site visit to assess income potential based on location hubs (e.g., proximity to Duke Hospital or RTP).

Inventory & Furnishing:

We create a room-by-room inventory list. To maintain "Hotel-Level Standards," we coordinate all furnishing using commercial-grade vendors.

Professional Photography:

We utilize High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) photography to feed our marketing engine.

Operations Integration:

Your property is loaded into our management software for automated cleaning schedules and revenue tracking.

How do you maintain the property condition?

Asset Protection & Maintenance

Unlike long-term tenants who may neglect issues for months, our team touches your property constantly. Our Property Care Process includes:

What happens during maintenance emergencies?

We utilize a Triage Protocol. We assess the urgency (e.g., active leak vs. cosmetic issue) and dispatch vetted contractors immediately without disturbing you at 2 AM. All incidents are documented in your monthly report.

01

Turnover Inspections:

A deep clean and inspection is performed strictly after every checkout to reset the home to baseline.

02

Quarterly HVAC Checks:

We handle filter replacements and system health checks.

03

90-Day Reviews:

For extended stays, we conduct mid-stay cleanings and inspections to ensure the asset remains pristine.

Tenant Quality & Screening

We market specifically to our 4 Key Avatars, ensuring reliable payments and respectful occupancy:

Who will be staying in my home?

  • The Displaced Family (Insurance)

    Families needing "ALE" (Additional Living Expenses) housing due to fire or flood. Rent is paid by major insurance carriers.

  • The Travel Nurse

    Medical professionals on contracts at Duke/UNC/WakeMed who need quiet, blackout-curtain environments.

  • The Corporate Traveler

    Tech and Biotech executives needing "move-in ready" productivity.

  • The Relocator

    Homebuyers needing "Gap Housing" while they wait to close on their permanent home.

How do you screen guests?

  • Identity Verification

    Government ID required for all adults (18+).

  • Background Checks

    Criminal and eviction history screening.

  • Strict Pet Policy

    "Dogs Only" (No cats, to prevent allergen buildup) with breed restrictions.

  • Age Requirement

    The primary booker must be 21+.

Financials & Reporting

How are leases structured?

We utilize 30-Day Renewable Agreements. This hybrid model offers the stability of a lease with the flexibility of a rental.

  • Terms: Agreements renew automatically on a Month-to-Month basis unless a 15-day Notice to Vacate is provided.
  • Payment Security: For stays under 30 days, 100% is collected at booking. For 30+ days, we collect 50% at signing and 50% pre-arrival.

 

What reporting will I receive?

You receive a comprehensive Monthly Owner Deliverable containing:

  • Occupancy rates and Revenue statements.
  • Maintenance logs (what was fixed/replaced).
  • Annual Review: A yearly strategy session to discuss pricing adjustments and potential property upgrades to increase your ROI.
