Investing in Mid-Term Rentals: Why More Investors Are Targeting Traveling Professionals

Short-term rentals have dominated the headlines for years, but a new trend is emerging that many savvy investors are jumping on: mid-term rentals.

Mid-term rentals (typically 1 to 6 months) are ideal for traveling nurses, corporate contractors, digital nomads, and families in relocation. They combine the cash flow benefits of short-term rentals with the stability of long-term leases.

Why Investors Love Mid-Term Rentals

  • Higher Rental Income: Often 20-40% more profitable than traditional long-term rentals.

  • Less Turnover Than STRs: You don’t have to clean and prep the unit every few days.

  • Reliable Tenant Pool: Platforms like Furnished Finder and Airbnb allow you to screen guests who often travel for work and need quiet, stable housing.

Keys to Success in Mid-Term Investing

  • Furnish Thoughtfully: Comfortable furniture, high-speed Wi-Fi, and functional workspaces are a must.

  • Legal Compliance: Ensure your rental is permitted for 30+ day stays based on your local zoning laws.

  • Professional Management: Working with a team who understands this niche can save time and increase returns.
