Summary

This article highlights the growing trend of mid-term rentals (MTRs), offering a potentially more stable income stream than short-term rentals. Hosts should consider MTRs in areas with demand from corporate relocations, traveling nurses, or universities, and utilize tools like TurboTenant for tenant screening and lease agreements.

Key Insights

  • MTRs can double monthly rent compared to a traditional tenant in hot medical hubs or business centers.
  • Cities like Detroit and Cleveland produced gross yields above 10% for MTR investors in March 2025, higher than many long-term rentals in the same markets.

Action Items

  • Use TurboTenant’s rental advertising platform to cast a wide net and filter for quality tenants.
    Effort: low
    Impact: medium
