Recently, I moved from the south to the Midwestern region.
I decided to make the transfer because I was provided a job that I could not turn down.
This was a position as a boss and manager, where I would have a team of 12 people reporting to me. I was so excited about the move, however everything manifested so quickly – more quickly than I anticipated. I went for an interview at the start of January and by the end of the month, I was already finalizing the plans on how to make the transfer seamless. After I explored a few options, the 1 big thing that made the most sense to me was to rent my house as a furnished short-term rental. This meant that I wouldn’t have to transfer all my furniture across the country. In fact, I didn’t transfer anything with me at all, and I was able to secure a month to month lease with the occupant. Renting the house as a furnished short-term rental allowed me to transfer with only my absolute necessities, which meant that I had legitimately little relocation expenses. In fact, I used my large relocation stipend from the new contractor to pay for a corporate apartment in the modern city that I moved to. I chose to rent a small corporate apartment because I didn’t want to be locked into a long-term lease. Eventually, I could find a modern locale to call my house in this city. Overall, everything worked out well and renting my house as a furnished short-term rental was the smartest decision that I could have made.
