We actually have the option to STR on a few of our properties and decline to do so because we make more money than an LTR on our medium-term rental with a lot less work than an STR.The pros to medium-term rentals: high occupancy rate, no local regulation issues if you are 30+ days, elevated rents, more and more people are staying longer, often the midterm rental tenant pool is professional. 

Many talented professionals that answer questions.

Hi @Rick Zavala, I'm based in Southern California, but I have started my out-of-state real estate journey in Indianapolis.

Rental income if you are not a real estate professional is considered passive income, even with the repair efforts you are doing.
