Frequently Asked Questions

How do Mid-Term Rental (MTR) yields compare to Short-Term Rentals?

MTRs typically generate 20-50% higher revenue than long-term rentals while avoiding the daily operational costs and higher transient taxes associated with STRs. In regulated markets, MTRs of 30+ days bypass many city-specific hospitality bans.

What are the most critical items for traveling medical professionals?

Reliable blackout solutions for daytime sleepers and high-performance kitchen storage for meal prep are the top requirements. If a nurse cannot sleep during the day due to light or noise, they will rarely renew their 13-week contract.

Do I need a different lease agreement for 30-90 day stays?

Yes, investors should utilize a specific 'Executive Stay' agreement that transitions into a month-to-month residency but clearly defines the temporary nature of the occupancy. Consult local counsel as stays over 30 days often grant tenant rights.
