Mid-Term Rentals: The Blue Ocean Most Investors Ignore?

[Jack Pasmore]

We’ve all seen the headlines—short-term rentals are getting regulated to death, and long-term tenants? Good luck with that lease sticking through a market shift. But what about the Mid-Term Rental (MTR) space? It’s profitable, scalable, and flying under the radar compared to its short-term counterpart.

Here's the thing—MTRs aren't just a hedge against STR restrictions. They're a completely different animal with higher-quality tenants, less turnover drama, and steady cash flow. But let’s not kid ourselves—just because it’s an untapped market doesn’t mean it’s easy.

So let’s get to it:

🚀 For those of you crushing it in the MTR space, where are you seeing the highest demand? Corporate stays, traveling nurses, insurance placements?

No fluff. No theory. Just real, on-the-ground strategies. Let’s hear it.
