Hello All, 

As MTR is a somewhat newer strategy, but with few very successful MTR investors I haven’t found too many potential partners. Are there any local meet ups or websites on where to find more people who have a moderate level of experience meaning they are  somewhat experienced but still looking to collaborate and network with more inexperienced investors like myself. I feel quite intimidated only seeing people with large followings and MULTIPLE properties. Also any advice for mtr partnerships from people who’ve done them?

Hello yes, mid term rental! For me personally, I am looking to do a furnished unit and use my creativity to design a unit. I love that MTR turnover is not as frequent as short term rentals and there is usually higher opportunity to cash flow each month, although there are added expenses such as utilities, lawn or hoa fees etc., to account for. Also it would mean I get a different tenant pool for example travel medical professionals, displaced people due to insurance claims, digital nomads, etc and I really want to expand my knowledge outside of long term tenants and challenge myself to have a diverse portfolio of real estate!

Hello All, so I have recently been looking into MTR in Chicago. I’m looking to get a condo 2bd/1bath or something similar near rush, Stroger/CC hospital, and UIC (not just looking to attract travel nurses I promise lol). Is there any advice specific to Chicago that would be important to know? Also please feel free to give advice specific to partnerships in Chicago or let me know of anyone who would be interested, (looking for someone who could potentially be a money partner or 50/50 for DP and other costs.)


(please give advice that is not beginner level, as I have been researching MTRs for months and already know the basics)

Hi guys! My name is Anastasia (female) and I am a rookie House hacker in the Chicagoland area. Obviously hotel hacking is right up my alley so feel free to PM me and I can send my email or Instagram so we can get all the details situated with booking! This would be my first time at BP Con and I would love to have 1 female roomie for the double bed option. Cancun sounds super amazing and I’m really looking forward to booking. 
about me: I’m 22! I bought my 2-flat in  November 2023, 2 weeks before my 22nd birthday. I am hoping to have 2 more deals done a year from now and I’m going to be scouting partners/networking at BP Con for upcoming deals. I’d also love to have more associates in the real estate industry so please share your R.E story with me I’d love to hear it! 
Other than real estate I love dance, especially Latin dance styles, a good bottomless mimosa brunch, travel, and relaxing to a good Netflix/hulu show with some dessert! 

Post: MTR rules for central Florida

Hello, 

So I saw that most places categorize rentals as just str or long term, mtr is just another option investors came up with but in the eyes of the state it’s not recognized with its own rules and regulations. I’m looking to have a mtr in the central Florida area, but I was wondering if it’s better to classify it as a long term rental to avoid all the str laws or will this get me into any trouble based on their rulings as to what differentiates a str vs ltr ? How have you guys in the central Florida area done it and do you have any advice or recommendations? I would use the long term strategy as the exit strategy since str laws are stricter.

Hello All, 

So I have tenants that are not quite understanding the difference between functionality and personal preference. I am trying to make a clear distinction between the 2 and wanted more opinions on how to differentiate. The situation is a toilet, the tenant complained that the seat is low, which I suggested to her a seat riser. She then stated that she tried them, but it’s the actual toilet that is causing issues as the flush handle does not pop back up suggesting something in the back part of the toilet needs to be replaced eventually and that overall the toilet is old and needs replacing, which eventually yes it will. However, we had another issue saying that bathroom sink stopper is broken and I need to buy a new faucet (or a completely new sink- she would enjoy) with the back part that drains the water slowly. I don’t think this is a necessity to have in a unit and have directed her to none other than google to purchase drain plugs if they absolutely needed to keep the sink water in the sink. 

Post: Under market rent tenants

Hello everyone! So I’m officially under contract for my first multi unit house hack, but I’m having a bit of hesitation about the 2nd unit. The tenants are wayyy under market rent but have been there over 10 years so they must be somewhat reliable on payment, unfortunately this means I’ll have to cover a larger portion of the mortgage than makes financial sense. I know the unit will rent for more, but the holiday season is coming up and I would love to have some money to cover the mortgage than just having a vacant unit throughout the winter until more renters are looking to move. Has anyone had experience on finding tenants throughout the holiday season or any advice on how to handle the situation?
