Curious to hear what types of mid-term tenants are performing best for everyone lately. We've hosted a wide range in our units in Columbus, corporate relocations and travel nurses, but a big chunk of our bookings come...

I feel like Greensboro (really the Triad as a whole) is a sweet spot for getting a combination of cash flow and appreciation.

LTRBased on your home’s details (3/2.5/2, upgraded finishes, solar, great curb appeal), here's a quick market snapshot for 78224 as of May 2025:Long-Term Rental:Rent Range: ~$1,600 to $1,950/monthGiven the upgrades and former model status, your home could likely command closer to the top end—$1,850–$1,950.Best for: Predictable income, low turnover, and less active management.Mid-Term Rental: Rent Potential: ~$2,200–$2,600/monthEspecially strong if you furnish it and market to travel nurses, contractors, or military (Brooks City Base is nearby).Best for: Higher cash flow with less churn than STR.Short-Term Rental: Nightly Rate: ~$100–$140/nightTo reliably cover a mortgage, you’d need 20+ booked nights/month—which can be tough in this ZIP, as tourist demand is more modest compared to downtown San Antonio or New Braunfels.Best for: Experienced hosts or homes in high-demand leisure areas.Given your goals and desire for stability, LTR or MTR might be your sweet spot:LTR gives peace of mind and steady income.MTR could boost returns while staying relatively passive—especially if you furnish it once and cater to travel professionals.And please don’t feel discouraged—it’s completely normal to feel a bit uncertain when entering a new space.

I definitely agree with you I’m noticing that the properties that are selling amenities are a little more updated than my property and I’m going to strongly consider a price reduction so I can be at that sweet spot tomorrow morning with my agent!

@Samuel Coronado This is really sweet of you to do!

I usually find the sweet spot around $2500-$5,000.

Condescension comes with if you're talking back to someone that's telling you the truth.Would you rather I be sweet or honest?

Gonna keep it short and sweet here: How did you guys know it was the right time to get started on your first deal (Execute on the deal)?

Have done a decent amount of transactions with properties that were listed by Short-Term Shop agents, and their agents definitely get the job done and have some sweet listings. 

On top of that, some DSCR lenders might charge more in fees and points, while providing quality service, so finding that sweet spot is key.Long winded answer to an open-ended question, but (biased opinion) that is where a broker could come into play.
