Episode notes
Midterm Market Is Much Bigger Than You Think
- Furnished Finder lists about 300,000 midterm-only rentals and may have nearly twice as many 30+ day listings as Airbnb.
- The category is early-stage and poised to professionalize like short-term rentals did.
Get Started Locally With Arbitrage
- Start local: pick properties near where you live to simplify self-management.
- Consider master leases or arbitrage to enter with far less capital than buying.
Prefer Small Units And Low Furnishing Costs
- Target smaller footprints: two bedrooms or less are most common and cheaper to furnish.
- Budget roughly $5–$7 per sqft to furnish and prepare a midterm rental.
