Post: Medium Term Rental Leases

Quote from @Brett Deas:

Not only is it the time frame but often times the lease is more extensive. All of my mid-terms in Denver are furnished (Which I would always recommend for midterms) so we have to include extra provisions in the lease about that as well. We also have different provisions than long term lease on notice to quit and renewal clauses because travel nurses often have a set time for when they know their stay will be extended and because often times travel nurses can have their contracts cancelled abruptly and sometimes even a few days after arriving. If you have any questions feel free to reach out as I have a few mid-term rentals myself!

Can you give tips on how to find travel nurses. I'm in NYC with some units.

Quote from @Eugene Fedotov:

If you intend to live in one of the units, look up a crime rate for that area. Better yet drive around on Friday and Saturday when it is warm. You need a bullet proof vest in some of the recommended here areas. And if you will need to commute by public transportation, hop on the subway and take a few rides. This may be an eye-opening experience. Also read about an eviction process in NYC. It takes a long, long time. 


 Thanks. Sounds like you have faced some challenges. 

My eyes are not closed. Lol

 @Eugene Fedotov is exactly right on all this. It can be a bit overwhelming if you've never experienced it before. But let me add to this that whether you live there or not, think about what type of tenants you'll have to deal with who will be living there. 


 Seems there is some kind of code being used here i don't understand.

doesn't everyone want good tenants for any rental?

Quote from @Peter Nikic:

I know I responded to you in the past, but seeing this again, I think anywhere along the 6 train in the Bronx would be ideal. Westchester Square to Pelham Bay. All great Bronx working people and neighborhoods.

Sunnyside or Woodside Queens would be fabulous, but maybe out of your price-range. I don't know Brooklyn. 

What is the price that's out of my range?

Us is my wife and I. Since we just moved up here, we also need s house, so, for now, it seems to make the most sense. That could easily change. Just what we are looking into right now.

fwiw, under estimating myself is never a problem folk say i have... Lol

Looking to relocate to New York. 


Probably Brooklyn/Bronx (maybe Queens?)


Beginning of the year.

Want to do a multi-family hack where we stay in part for a year or two.

Super competitive area... any pro tips?

First, you should know that everyone and their mother is looking to get a multifamily property! Therefore, there is some competition and strategy needed in this market

Pick a niche/strategy: Some strategies may include house hacking(FHA), BTR construction, BRRR, or ready-to-rent units

Identify the types of property you want: Smaller units, apartment complexes, etc

Pick a financing tool: Are you raising capital, convention loan, Non-QM loans, venture partners, large banks, local banks, etc


 House hacking seems to be the way for us to start.

Quote from @Allan Smith:

The LTRs in NYC are rent controlled so it's just not an RE market operating on capitalism. You have to buy for appreciation there, not cash flow.

Are you talking about through Airbnb VRBO etc?
