Keywords

💡Midterm Rentals

Midterm Rentals refers to the practice of renting out properties for a period longer than a typical short-term rental but shorter than a long-term lease, usually ranging from weeks to a few months. In the video, the concept is discussed as a strategy for property owners to maximize their income by catering to a specific type of customer, such as travel nurses or relocating families. The script emphasizes that midterm rentals are not a new trend but are gaining attention due to market saturation in other niches.

💡Short-term Rental

A short-term rental is a property rented out for a brief period, often less than a month, and is typically facilitated through platforms like Airbnb.

play01:00

about the midterm rental space so that

play01:02

way you can make some serious cash in

play01:03

this industry because there is

play01:04

definitely cash in this sector but the

play01:06

first thing I need to tell you what I

play01:07

say the trend isn't what you think it is

play01:09

is because I'm a YouTuber and many other

play01:12

content creators are either YouTubers

play01:13

bloggers Educators the midterm rental

play01:15

market has always existed it's always

play01:17

been a thing it goes by many monikers

play01:20

and corporate housing is one Workforce

play01:22

accommodations is another one there is a

play01:24

fine line that separates two completely

play01:25

different Industries but on one side of

play01:28

this line is both short-term rentals and

play01:31

Midterm rentals they both exist in the

play01:33

same industry and this is where I think

play01:34

a lot of people are getting this wrong

play01:36

midterm rentals is just a keyword to

play01:39

describe one type of customer that you

play01:41

can get in your property and the reason

play01:43

why this keyword is getting big is

play01:45

because a lot of the niches in the space

play01:47

have been oversold there's a lot of

play01:48

Airbnb content people doing verbo

play01:50

content there's people doing all sorts

play01:51

of different real estate content and

play01:53

influencers are looking for new places

play01:54

to attack you the audience to get in

play01:56

front of your face that's a totally

play01:57

normal thing what I'm about to tell you

play01:59

here is going to be a little little

play02:00

controversial but it's going to be in

play02:01

your best interest and looking at it

play02:03

this way is going to be how you

play02:04

introduce yourself the right way to this

play02:06

concept is how you're going to make the

play02:08

most money because you're going to have

play02:09

a cleaner go at this industry it's the

play02:11

only way I can say it midterm rentals

play02:13

don't exist that's the controversial

play02:14

statement and so hang on with me here

play02:16

let's talk about the industry at large

play02:18

at first that fine line is the

play02:20

difference between traditional housing

play02:22

and transient housing anytime that you

play02:24

buy a property or rent a property that's

play02:26

traditional housing right it's a

play02:28

property it's completely empty but

play02:29

there's a spectrum in traditional

play02:31

housing isn't there you've got fully

play02:33

furnished apartments you've got all

play02:34

bills paid you've got second chance like

play02:36

no credit check housing you've got

play02:38

month-to-month all bills paid right

play02:40

you've got these no contract kind of

play02:41

things and as we get closer and closer

play02:43

to furnished all bills paid no credit

play02:46

check month to month now we're right

play02:48

there right we're right there on that

play02:49

line that jumps into transient the

play02:52

difference between traditional housing

play02:53

and transient housing tends to be

play02:55

whether or not somebody has to sign a

play02:56

lease now midterm rentals some people

play02:58

are making their persons sign leases for

play03:00

these midterm rentals but the truth is

play03:02

if you've got a midterm rental on an OTA

play03:04

like Airbnb if a travel nurse which is

play03:07

what you're typically thinking of in

play03:08

this midterm stay Market if a travel

play03:10

nurse booked on Airbnb which one is

play03:12

booked from me for 14 months in an

play03:14

Airbnb property before they didn't sign

play03:16

a lease that's totally normal so a lot

play03:18

of people really Define the space

play03:20

differences whether or not somebody's a

play03:21

leaseholder and you can do midterm

play03:23

rentals without owning property because

play03:25

like I just told you I'm making about a

play03:26

million just under a million dollars a

play03:27

year in monthly rentals and I don't own

play03:29

a single one of my 155 doors they're all

play03:32

Arbitrage so you could access the

play03:34

midterm rental market as an owner or as

play03:36

a Arbitrage operator so let's look at

play03:38

the other half let's look at the half

play03:39

that is transient if we go all the way

play03:42

to the very end the Airbnb space right

play03:44

the verbo space the the weekend parties

play03:47

in Austin kind of space you'll either

play03:49

buy a house have this big house big

play03:50

beautiful place with a hot tub or a pool

play03:52

and you'll get people staying for a

play03:54

couple days the average length of stay

play03:55

on Airbnb is four to six days long but

play03:58

Airbnb saw an increase of monthly

play04:00

bookings by about as much as 50 percent

play04:02

right after covet hit now we also have a

play04:04

staff shortage in certain key roles in

play04:06

this country that make the workforce

play04:07

accommodations part especially juicy

play04:09

contract nurses can make six or eight

play04:11

thousand dollars a week they can make a

play04:13

ton of money and I have a few friends in

play04:14

Dallas where I live that are contract

play04:16

nurses one is placed in Berkeley

play04:17

California right now and one is placed

play04:19

in Miami right now and they'll be back

play04:20

in Dallas in a few months but they'll

play04:22

pay good money if they want to a lot of

play04:24

times they don't want to though because

play04:25

they want to keep all that contract

play04:26

money they're not going to Berkeley to

play04:28

go vacation for three months they're

play04:30

going to be working their tails off so

play04:32

they tend to want a more price effective

play04:34

more neutral easy to live in easy to

play04:36

work from kind of environment they don't

play04:38

want want the Airbnb accommodation at

play04:40

this probably one of the first things

play04:41

that you're starting to want to wonder

play04:42

is what kind of property do I need to

play04:43

have to perform well in short-term

play04:45

rental accommodations by the way I'm in

play04:47

Las Vegas in this seven bedroom house a

play04:48

friend of mine owns it he's an Airbnb

play04:50

host can't tell you where it is right

play04:51

because of a short term rental

play04:53

regulations here but we met at the

play04:54

short-term rental wealth conference in

play04:56

Nashville last year which I'm not

play04:58

speaking at this year I will not be

play04:59

speaking at the Str conference they

play05:01

didn't invite me it's okay I'll just do

play05:03

other stuff it's absolutely cool so this

play05:05

property is way too big for your typical

play05:07

midterm rental for a travel nurse but

play05:10

there are other types of placements that

play05:12

can make a large six-bedroom house money

play05:14

in the midterm rental market so you do

play05:16

have the opportunity to do midterm

play05:18

rentals even with a larger home you're

play05:20

just going to have to attack a different

play05:21

consumer type but back to the Airbnb

play05:23

thing I was talking about normally a

play05:25

property either an apartment or a house

play05:26

the average length of stays four to six

play05:28

nights but then airbnb's you know just a

play05:31

stark increase in the amount of monthly

play05:32

rentals that they've been getting so

play05:33

Airbnb has been now probably one of the

play05:35

biggest platforms for midterm rentals

play05:37

but Airbnb also been losing market share

play05:39

to Virgo for stuff and people do know

play05:41

about furnish finder and so now that

play05:43

there's more properties on furnace

play05:44

finder it is a more reliable place for

play05:46

travel nurses to go find some space the

play05:48

most important thing I think I can tell

play05:49

you at this point if you have a property

play05:51

that can go on Airbnb for four nights or

play05:52

six nights it is essentially the same

play05:54

property that can also be booked off to

play05:56

a travel nurse or relocating family or

play05:59

an insurance company or a corporate

play06:01

housing contract it's the same exact

play06:03

property there's nothing that you need

play06:05

to change to get that booking your

play06:07

property if you want to get more monthly

play06:09

bookings could use some different

play06:10

amenities which I've actually covered in

play06:12

different videos for example having a

play06:14

more fully stocked kitchen one that

play06:15

people can cook in allows people to

play06:16

settle into a home and save money from

play06:18

not having to eat out a washer and dryer

play06:20

for longer stays is important and what

play06:22

you'll notice here the theme will be

play06:23

that anytime I've said the word longer

play06:25

stay in a previous video that longer

play06:27

stay could be multi-week or it could be

play06:29

multi-month all the same advice I've

play06:31

ever given you for longer stays will

play06:33

apply to the monthly rental market if

play06:34

you were only trying to win business on

play06:37

the monthly rental market you're going

play06:38

to completely forsake the vast majority

play06:40

of money that you could make the only

play06:41

time that you might do monthly rentals

play06:43

or midterms as your main strategy is in

play06:45

a market where the regulations prevent

play06:47

you from doing it now there are really

play06:48

slick ways to do monthly rentals and you

play06:51

never do any short-term rentals like

play06:53

utilizing something like peer space and

play06:54

I've taught my students in Los Angeles

play06:55

and New York to do this where you do

play06:57

monthly stays only and then in between

play06:58

your monthly stays you're going to want

play07:00

to use peer space which is a place that

play07:02

people can rent by the hour for photo

play07:03

shoots or video shoots that is really

play07:05

cool because that's not an accommodation

play07:06

so when the regulations say somebody

play07:08

who's staying in an accommodation has to

play07:10

stay more than 30 days the extra bonus

play07:12

days that you have left over can be

play07:13

booked off for photo shoots and not

play07:15

violate short-term rental regulation

play07:16

laws that's a really good split but

play07:18

there's only very specific types of

play07:20

properties that I advise that you do

play07:21

peer space in in a place like New York

play07:23

or Los Angeles and I teach that stuff in

play07:25

my course how to set those properties a

play07:27

monthly peer space combo something I

play07:28

teach in cracking soup roast and we've

play07:30

been teaching this for years like I said

play07:32

midterm States isn't a new thing but if

play07:34

you're not in a market that requires it

play07:35

maybe you have a soft requirement like I

play07:37

just did a video where I reviewed Shelby

play07:39

Church's property and her main pricing

play07:41

strategy should be monthly flavored

play07:43

until it's peak season and when peak

play07:45

season hits she can use all of her you

play07:47

know rental contract allowance because

play07:49

Palm Springs has a max 36 bookings per

play07:52

year thing she can use that short-term

play07:53

rental contract allowance in peak season

play07:54

just Jam the most money three months out

play07:56

of the year but then do like a

play07:57

multi-week or multi-month strategy the

play07:59

rest of the year midterms are highly

play08:01

valid for you know precise markets that

play08:03

have really weird regulations or a ban

play08:06

all the way but even in a market where

play08:08

you don't have a band or you don't have

play08:10

regulations you might even have a slow

play08:11

season so monthly stays for midterm

play08:13

stays become valid in slow season

play08:15

because what happens is a lot of

play08:16

providers are only priced for one type

play08:19

of customer if you're in a market where

play08:21

most providers make so much money in

play08:23

peak season a three night or four night

play08:24

long stays and those providers don't

play08:26

change their pricing strategy coming

play08:28

into slow season then you have a

play08:29

competitive Advantage by having both a

play08:31

really good Prime market pricing

play08:33

strategy and a slow season pricing

play08:35

strategy the real advice here for you is

play08:37

if you have the ability to do both you

play08:38

should do both and the reason why thirty

play08:40

percent of my properties are monthly at

play08:42

any point in time is because at scale

play08:44

with 150 dollars there's a lot of

play08:46

employees that I have to run this

play08:47

business a lot of housekeepers so we

play08:48

actually try to have more monthly stays

play08:50

because it makes it easier for us to run

play08:52

our business now one of the coolest

play08:54

things that you need to know is Airbnb

play08:56

has redone their algorithm to make

play08:58

finding monthly stays easier for

play09:00

travelers which means if you're a

play09:01

monthly State provider you're going to

play09:02

want to get your business on Airbnb so

play09:04

anybody that's telling you really to

play09:05

push into furnish finder or

play09:07

apartments.com by the way you can

play09:08

actually do monthly stays for your

play09:10

short-term rental on apartments.com and

play09:11

other websites and I'm going to do a

play09:12

separate video on five ways to get more

play09:15

monthly stays we're going to do that in

play09:16

a future video aside from doing those

play09:18

things right because I really don't

play09:19

recommend when you're new to monthly

play09:20

states to try to go all these other

play09:21

places to get your monthly rentals if

play09:23

you can get that filled on Airbnb the

play09:25

way that Airbnb populates search now is

play09:27

if you've had a good monthly stay in

play09:29

your property and somebody searches

play09:31

Airbnb for monthly stays again you get

play09:33

pushed to the top Airbnb switching their

play09:34

algorithm from specifically an interest

play09:36

algorithm to a satisfaction action

play09:38

algorithm so if you want to show up on

play09:39

the first page of search in Airbnb now

play09:41

for the consumer type that you want to

play09:43

service you need to satisfy a

play09:45

reservation prior right so let's say you

play09:47

have a house with a pool when somebody

play09:48

searches for a pool in Las Vegas and

play09:50

goes and stays in a pool in Las Vegas

play09:51

they're going to rate your place you're

play09:52

going to get a review if somebody gives

play09:54

you a great review and they searched for

play09:56

a pool when they started their

play09:57

reservation then your amenities get

play10:00

rated five stars if somebody searched

play10:02

for a hot tub and gave you a three-star

play10:04

review but somebody searched for a gym

play10:05

and gave you a five star review they're

play10:07

going to think that your gym was

play10:08

five-star and your hot tub was three

play10:09

star so now people have five star

play10:10

ratings for hot tub searches will pop up

play10:12

more because your search is when

play10:14

somebody searched for a hot tub and

play10:15

booked with you they thought your hot

play10:16

tub sucked and that's going to happen so

play10:18

it's a satisfaction algorithm so in this

play10:20

case if somebody searches for a monthly

play10:21

stay which you can actually find out if

play10:23

people are staying by the month by

play10:24

searching these listings if somebody

play10:26

does search for a monthly stay they book

play10:27

with you they give you a good review

play10:28

you're going to show up in more searches

play10:31

for monthly stays so your best way to

play10:32

get more monthly stays is to give a good

play10:34

price on Airbnb and initially get some

play10:37

monthly traffic now this gets to the

play10:39

meta the real deep nerdy stuff of the

play10:42

midterm State Market you can have two

play10:44

pricing strategies on your short-term

play10:45

rental property right now when I do my

play10:47

pricing strategy I have a single night

play10:49

rate and then I do a three day and four

play10:50

Day discount I have two different prices

play10:52

for three day and 40 discount I do this

play10:54

to try to maximize the weekend and

play10:57

weekday bookings that I get in

play10:58

combination so that way when people are

play11:00

booking certain dates um they get a

play11:02

really competitive rate for the weekdays

play11:03

they get a really competitive rate for

play11:05

the weekends but if they want a book for

play11:06

one or two nights they're gonna pay

play11:07

extra right that's my pricing strategy

play11:09

for my short-term rental market but my

play11:11

seven day and longer discounts start to

play11:13

play a different game my 28 night

play11:14

discount isn't just some relative

play11:16

discount compared to my normal price I

play11:18

actually go into the Airbnb Market space

play11:20

look at what people are paying by the

play11:22

month for their monthly rentals finding

play11:23

out what people are making and then I

play11:25

set my monthly discount based on what

play11:26

people will pay for monthly stays if I

play11:28

want them and of course for what months

play11:30

of the year do I want monthly stays

play11:31

because in peak season I don't want

play11:33

month these days I want the week and

play11:34

long and week-long bookings I want to

play11:36

maximize my Revenue in peak season I

play11:37

really want to use the midterm rental

play11:39

strategy for my slower season so my

play11:42

listings are booked through slow season

play11:43

while everybody else is just scrambling

play11:45

for bookings this is a really good

play11:46

strategy so what I would implore you to

play11:48

do is to have a better understanding of

play11:50

pricing strategy in general and I've got

play11:51

a free playlist on pricing strategy and

play11:53

if you do this my way you'll have two

play11:55

separate pricing strategies on your

play11:56

Airbnb listing even if your nightly rate

play11:58

with three day four Day discounts and

play12:00

then you're gonna have like a 14 day and

play12:01

28 Day discount that start to capture

play12:03

you longer bookings you'll also be able

play12:05

to dynamically price and buoy your

play12:06

prices up for peak season and prices

play12:08

down for slow season and then people

play12:09

will start to book you in slow season

play12:11

for monthly stays and if you feel like

play12:13

it's really hard to manage all the

play12:14

properties that you have let's say you

play12:16

buy 50 houses you can start to give more

play12:18

of a juicy monthly rate all around and

play12:20

just try to get more monthly stays

play12:21

forever that way you're not managing so

play12:23

many housekeepers in future videos we

play12:25

will talk about outbound selling your

play12:27

property because that is really the True

play12:28

Heart of monthly stays is the midterm

play12:31

Market the corporate housing market is

play12:33

where you have a furnished property all

play12:35

bills paid where people can show up like

play12:36

an airbn drop their luggage off but

play12:38

instead of waiting for a platform to

play12:40

find that for you the most elegant

play12:41

midterm State companies have a sales guy

play12:43

getting on the phone and if you remember

play12:45

the video I did during covid I taught

play12:47

you all this three-ish almost years ago

play12:50

I picked the phone and I started calling

play12:51

relocation companies and I taught you

play12:53

that two and a half years ago picking up

play12:55

the phone and doing outbound sales but

play12:56

I'll do a new 2022 2023 version of this

play12:59

where I'm going to teach you guys how to

play13:00

do some outbound selling to get some

play13:02

monthly stays I'll teach you some

play13:03

non-airb non-verbal non-furnish finder

play13:05

platforms I'm going to show you the five

play13:07

ways to get more monthly bookings and

play13:09

the platforms and non-platform ways to

play13:11

go get those but the most important

play13:12

thing before you go and try to get all

play13:14

fancy is you need to understand that on

play13:17

this half Transient Accommodations

play13:19

monthly stays midterm stays are just a

play13:21

shade of gray in the scale and if you

play13:23

try to do monthly stays without being

play13:25

forced to if you're not in a market

play13:27

where you have to do monthly if you try

play13:29

to prioritize monthly because you think

play13:30

it's better you're coming in with the

play13:31

wrong bias you're looking at it the

play13:33

wrong way your property should have the

play13:35

healthy blend of monthly opportunities

play13:37

multi-week out opportunities three day

play13:39

four day opportunities you want to

play13:40

maximize your Revenue all year and if

play13:43

you think that you're going to have some

play13:44

better go at the monthly Market just

play13:46

because you're having a hard run in the

play13:48

short term space you need to look at

play13:49

yourself as an operator look at your

play13:51

property and it's quality and be more

play13:52

honest with yourself now I have other

play13:54

videos on amenities what to buy for your

play13:55

space I did a very recent video on what

play13:57

to buy and what not to buy amenities

play13:59

that you need for your property we talk

play14:01

about long-term entities and short-term

play14:02

amenities go watch that video until I

play14:04

get you more midterm keyword heavy

play14:07

videos those ones will service you it's

play14:09

going to be nearly the same content I'm

play14:10

going to tell you that right now but the

play14:12

reason why you're going to see midterm

play14:14

stay YouTube videos and blogs on Bigger

play14:16

Pockets is because it is a keyword that

play14:19

people are trying to capture to get your

play14:20

attention and to influence you that's

play14:22

very specifically it but midterm stays

play14:25

are no different really than any other

play14:27

transient traffic you just have a

play14:28

different consumer type that might have

play14:30

a different couple amenities that they

play14:31

want and you're gonna have less

play14:33

transactions keep it simple guys keep

play14:35

this simple it's not that hard and it's

play14:37

not that scary thank you so much for

play14:38
