Guide to Midterm Rentals | Tenants. Platforms. Rents.

Summary

This video provides a comprehensive guide to medium-term rentals (MTRs), defining them as furnished stays of 30+ days. It highlights the growing trend of remote workers seeking flexible accommodations and identifies key renter demographics, including remote workers, people relocating, and college students. The video emphasizes that MTRs offer a more stable income than short-term rentals with less turnover and fewer regulatory hurdles, though they also require different amenities. Key features renters look for include a dedicated workspace with good Wi-Fi, appropriate property size (studio to 3-bedroom), and pet-friendliness with outdoor space. The presenter recommends Furnished Finders as a primary platform for sourcing MTR tenants due to its cost-effectiveness and less aggressive booking environment compared to Airbnb.
