Hi, @Celine BessonI work exclusively to help my out of state investor clients find great deals in the Memphis real estate market. 

Hi Lina from Texas-Congratulations on your interest in investing in mid-term rentals and you are wondering how and where to get started.I get this question frequently from investors.Sometimes and investor is looking to keep their property cashflow positive as insurance and taxes have squeezed cashflow by turning units into mid-term or short-term rentals.First off, ideally, the property will cashflow as a long-term rental should something disrupt the mid-term rental model.You will also want to have the property be near where there would be a demand for mid-term rentals (hospitals, universities, research centers).Monthly rents for mid-term rentals are about 20% (+/-) higher than unfurnished similar long-term rentals.There are property managers that will manage mid-term rentals for you and I always advise my clients to use property managers to keep their investment as passive as possible and for compliance issues related to Fair Housing Laws and local regulations.To Your Success!

Consult a CPA or estate attorney to ensure compliance.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

My favorite calls are from prospective clients who have been with another company - they know what matters to them and I know a lot about how the relationship will go, based on what they've experienced with another PMC. 

Our clients have used 1031 exchanges very effectively when they have a property that turns out to not be the right fit for them.

Awesome to hear you are in our market, we have a lot of clients who invest both out of state and in-state like yourself!

One of my clients had a $1M deal under contract where they needed to do a $300k raise. 

I have had a couple of clients just get the loan approved with the long term rates and then the bank really doesn't care how they get it rented out after.
