Two things:
1. Anything rented longer than 30 days is legally a long-term rental. You should follow the law and best practices of long-term rentals, not short-term rentals.
2. It's hard to find a quality PM willing to take on MTR. The increased turnover requires increased work and the PM is going to charge accordingly.
As Nathan said, for an MTR - expect their rate to be 12-20%. just be mindful of such!
Local REI meetups tend to be a good option to find good PMs (especially high touch MTR PM). You can also try posting on the classified section of BiggerPockets
@Boffill Yosleys Yeah, the typical property management experience does not work for midterm rentals. It's hard for the PM to make their costs if they can't charge half the first month's rent, and charging half of the first month's rent won't work for the tenant landlord if each rental is only 3 months long. For this reason, I coach a lot of my midterm rental consulting clients to learn how to do Airbnb and Zillow and embrace self-property management. You can always get a PM after that if you are not successful doing it on your own.
Hello @Boffill Yosleys! How is your experience with the mid-term rental? I'm looking to use that model for my rental. Any advice, best practices, pros/cons you'd be willing to share? I'd love to hear your input. Hope to hear from you soon!

I'll check my network for any MTR property managers or co hosts in Louisville. I own a MTR management company in Los Angeles and can attest to what others have said here. Most managers in this space focus on STRs and don't know how to market for MTR bookings.
