The city-owned Section 8 building next door.Drug dealers ripped off my cameras, threatened sanitation workers, and scared off a tenant just for having cameras on his truck and now we have 2 vacancies.

In ten years of the island, I have yet to run into Dominican workers.

My goal is to purchase a duplex in a solid A/B neighborhood to operate as a mid-term rental (MTR).I know how important it is to have the right team, so I’d love to connect with investor-friendly real estate agents, property managers, and co-hosts in either market.

Hey everyone,I’ve been noticing more investors shifting toward medium-term rentals (MTRs) — especially with cities tightening STR regulations and longer leases getting squeezed by slower rent growth.It seems like the 3–6 month rental space (travel nurses, relocations, contract workers) is offering a nice balance of cash flow and stability — without the constant turnover of short-term stays.For those already in this space:How are you structuring leases (furnished vs. semi-furnished)?

Hey @Laura Heald, I’ve got a buddy who actually built financial freedom doing co-living, but it only worked because he treated it like a real strategy, not some magic cash-flow hack.He’s got 7 places in Florida — all tweaked to fit 6–8 rooms — furnished everything, used PadSplit’s structure for rules/tenant issues, and had someone local handle the hands-on stuff.

Quote from @Placeholder Placeholder: Has anyone ever heard of Funding Co Holding, LLC, was In need of hard money loan due to unqualified docs, attempting to purchase potential property with extremely great ROI.

They mentioned that the employment contract and assignment letter are usually enough.My question is about situations where the traveling nurse is accompanied by a spouse or partner who is not a healthcare worker and works remotely (or has other income sources).Do you screen the spouse separately?

The key is having parent co-signers, clear house rules, and reliable maintenance contacts since turnover and wear could be higher.

So, how would you structure lease renewals to properly incentivize a PMC or a W-2 worker?

Running the numbers yourself, talking with lenders, property managers, and even observing or participating in a deal through a co-investing or mentorship setup will accelerate learning far beyond theory.
