Mid-term rentals are quickly becoming one of the most popular strategies for physician investors, and for good reason. You get higher cash flow than long-term rentals, less management intensity than short-term rentals, and you can start with properties you'd buy anyway.
In this episode of the Doctors Building Wealth Podcast, Leti and Kenji break down everything you need to know about mid-term rentals: from running the numbers and choosing the right property to finding tenants, understanding tax implications, and managing the property.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
Why mid-term rentals can generate 20%+ cash-on-cash returns using properties that would work as regular long-term rentals
The key tenant types (traveling nurses, corporate workers, insurance displacement renters) and how to build relationships that keep your units full
How mid-term rentals are taxed differently than short-term rentals and why you need Real Estate Professional Status
The creative ways investors in our community test demand before even closing on a property
How to fill gaps between mid-term stays using short-term rental platforms like Airbnb
Why location near hospitals, corporate offices, and good school districts is critical for success
Whether you're brand new to furnished rentals or looking to convert an existing property, this episode gives you a practical, low-risk roadmap to get started.
