Growing Through Challenges

We still remember vividly when the pandemic first hit. All the travel restrictions and shelters were put in place, and we realized immediately that this would be an unprecedented challenge for the global mobility market as a whole. For Month2Month, our business is closely tied with the rapid change of the mobility market and Month2Month’s ability to rapidly adapt is critical.

Luckily, back then, we already had most of our houses occupied with families who had longer-term housing needs. We were also able to maintain and cater to the vital needs of insurance relocation. With our devoted investors’ support, we were able to expand our inventory to quite a few new locations outside California such as Texas, Florida, Nevada, Oregon and West Virginia.     

During the slow season, we didn’t just sit idle or choose the lowest hanging fruit. Instead, we focused on streamlining our operational procedures – from Finance, HR and Product Management to Sales Outreach focused on investing in our people. 

For example, we provided employees with opportunities to develop cross-disciplinary expertise. By rotating the staff through various departments, learning on the job has been made easy, and the excitement in the workplace got generated naturally. Our sales team now offers a fresh perspective to our property maintenance manager, and our property maintenance team finds it exhilarating to observe how the marketing process works. 

For example, our sales veteran Ashley has been with the company for five years and in her own words: “2020 is the year when I saw myself growing professionally fastest and become a better version of myself surprisingly during the pandemic!”.

 

But what really keeps us afloat and even thriving in the past year is the unswerving devotion from our loyal employees. We didn’t scale back or let anybody go due to the pandemic. Instead, we were able to maintain all the jobs by instituting temporary pay cuts. We appreciate every team member – from CEO to ground level contractors who were making sacrifices to help our business weather the industry recession. We have doubled our business staff since last year, and we are still actively hiring! Everything we have experienced in the past 12 months proves to the industry and our investors that we are resilient and Month2Month’s ability to rapidly adapt will continuously guide us in our future adventure.

Month2Month Takes You to Explore What Vegas Looks Like Right Now

Month2Month is expanding its inventory to Vegas Nevada and would like to share why it’s a good idea to relocate your clients there during the pandemic. Our furnished housings in Summerlin, NV terms provides a safe and spacious work from home setting while still allowing guests to enjoy the amenities and experiences Las Vegas is known for. 

The hotels seemed crowded, but a lot of safety measures in place

Technically, The well-known Strip isn’t even in Vegas; it’s actually in Paradise, Nevada. The four-mile Las Vegas Boulevard corridor is home to world-class food and top-notch entertainment. A lot of activities have reopened with safety guidelines and measures in place.  The city is working really hard to promote and create a safe environment for guests. Visitors are finding that the hotels adhere to the safety protocols well and people respect and appreciate those precautions. Hand sanitizer, safety-related signs, and masks are everywhere. The new marketing strategy is less “What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas,” and more “Stay Smart. Stay Healthy”.

Life does not happen on the Strip

For people who know the “Sin City” well, life does not happen on the Strip. Beyond the slot machines, dazzling neon lights and fancy hotels, Vegas has just as many amenities as other major cities, but with much affordable prices, surprisingly. As a Vegas local you’ll probably never visit the tourist trap. Instead, you would check out the restaurants and entertainment in areas like Summerlin and Downtown Vegas. Downtown Vegas is home to Fremont Street Experience, which offers everything from zip-lining to live music to dining.

Summerlin is perfect for your relocation needs

Summerlin is a premier urban and residential community nestled against the breathtaking Red Rock National Conservation Area. It has an all-star roster of national homebuilders, ensuring that quality, innovative, and progressive home design remains a community hallmark. Contact us today if you need furnished housings in Summerlin, NV! Click here for more information about the property.

Temporary Housing Market Has Never Been Hotter

As we all know the supply of single family properties for mid-term rental varies drastically among different cities. The demand never balances the supply in some locations.  For the temporary housing relocation market, we are competing with Sixteen Million customers in the U.S. today who rent a single-family home.

 While the insured clients are waiting so anxiously in the small hotels, the available house options are so limited that your competitors are working around the clock to search and bid. Even if you are lucky enough to finally find a house owned and maintained by private owners or “mom and pop” landlords, you start to worry their lack of systems and procedures create huge headaches for your Customer Experience and Accounting team. 

Bringing this new asset class to a functioning operational scale is never easy. As an institutional firm with 10 years in the single-family rental space, Month2Month is very proud of our seasoned processes and metrics in place from our years of partnership experience providing premium insurance and temporary housing for you folks. To help destress you a little bit, we’d like to announce we found the following properties in the most competitive locations and please be prepared for matching your needs far ahead of your competition!

San Dimas, California is Ideal for Relocation

San Dimas is a lovely city where many people who find temporary housing there will end up adoring it so much that they wonder why they haven’t explored it sooner.  Southern Californians who are familiar with major cities and noisy tourist towns know the true character lies inside its smaller cities and towns. For working professionals with a remote work mode now, families who look for a temporary home and need good schools for their kids, or adventurous couples who just need a change of scenery in a laid-back environment, Month2Month highly recommend giving San Dimas a try for relocation. It is an underrated gem full of parks, equestrian vibes and plenty of local history. 

Location & History

Located in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County and was originally developed in 1837, San Dimas is home to about 33,000 people and is known for its Western art, equestrian culture, and historic sites. 

Education & School District 

San Dimas is located in the Bonita Unified School District, which is a highly rated, public school district. It has 10,055 students in grades K-12 with a student-teacher ratio of 24 to 1. It is also close to the highly-selective private institutions of higher education, The Claremont Colleges. These top ranked world famous colleges include Claremont McKenna College, Pomona College, Harvey Mudd College, many of you may have already heard of.

 

Have Fun & Explore

During weekends when you look for places without crowds to have some fresh air,  you will find many unique, one-of-a-kind things to see and do in this small city. For example, the locals would recommend you to check out the old town district located along Bonita Avenue where you’ll find all sorts of buildings that date back to the 1800s, or visit the Pacifc Railroad Museum which resembles a working railroad station and is a group of volunteers who are enthusiastic about railroads, train travel, rail transit and railroad history.  

The 1,975-acre Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park is another picturesque place to spend a relaxing day with your family and kids indulging in fun outdoor activities such as golfing, picnicking, hiking, swimming, bicycling, horseback riding, calf-roping, bird watching, camping, and more.

San Dimas is also home to Raging Waters Los Angeles, one of California’s best and largest water parks. This 60-acre waterpark has been recognized by USA Today as a “Top 10 Water Park” and families love the 50 world-class rides and slides. The park is currently planning to reopen in May 2021.

Month2Month’s Temporary Housings in Houston

Month2Month is thrilled to announce that we now have temporary housings in Houston.

Houston 

“Space center”, “Houston Zoo”, “NASA”, “the fourth largest city in the country by population”,  “aggressive driving culture” and “Tex-Mex restaurants” are just a few factors on everyone’s lips when people think of Houston, such an impressive major city.   

Surprisingly, Houston is the most ethnically diverse metropolitan area in America— more diverse than New York City, Los Angeles or Chicago. That’s because no other city has as equal of a distribution as Houston does of the four major ethnicities found in the United States. It is truly a minority-majority city. More than 90 languages are spoken in the Houston metro area, though the most common are English, Spanish and Vietnamese. 

Known as home to happy growing families, Fort Bend County 30 miles southwest to Downtown Houston is complemented by consistent good weather, a variety of dining and retail options, open green spaces, and numerous family attractions. The county has also been named one of the safest in the US, and it is a regional leader in household income.

 

Holidale Rentals Location 

Our two brand new properties are in the Sienna Plantation, Missouri City are just a few minutes away from the metropolitan area. The top-selling community nationwide provides the perfect mix of amenities and wide-open spaces perfect for family relocation needs. With the quiet, well-kept neighborhoods, exceptional schools, 100 acres of parks and proximity to Houston,  it is the ideal place for families who look for temp housing solutions.

Irvine CA is Ideal for Insurance Housings Placements

We had to show you why you should provide our Irvine housing options to meet your insurance clients‘ relocation needs, even BEFORE they realize it themselves. As we had quite a few success cases of families who resided in other cities and chose to relocate here in amazing Irvine California, we would like to introduce you Irvine as a perfect place for relocation and invite you to consider us to provide insurance housings to your clients. 

Orange County is the smallest county by area in Southern California and it is easy for people across the regions to commute and move without a hassle.  However, Orange County is sometimes divided into northern and southern regions, where the significant political, demographic, economic and cultural distinctions make some residents reluctant to relocate to other cities, even if it only means ten minutes of driving away. 

Orange County is also the second most densely populated county in the state with more than 3 million residents and understandably strong insurance and corporate relocation needs. Located in the center of South OC, Irvine boasts the unparalleled convenience of a 15-minute drive to any other OC city. It is known for its stunning landscape, dynamic retail destinations, thriving economy and award-winning school district. Irvine provides residents with an unparalleled quality of life especially for families with young kids. One of our current guests staying in Irvine was relocated last year from Fullerton, northern Orange County and had even their first newborn girl here in our nice property! We also had the disappointing experience of meeting a family from Laguna Niguel who preferred to get stuck in hotel rooms in the same area over spacious single-family rentals in Irvine.   

One of the best parts of living in Irvine is your proximity to any other city in Orange County and the most popular hiking trails, parks and nature preserves, which we believe the insured families appreciate, a great relaxation from their stressed situations with the complicated insurance claim process and small hotel rooms. 

Contact Us! If you have any needs for insurance housings in Irvine, we always have the perfect inventory in the perfect locations!
