It’s been sitting vacant ever since.My property manager keeps telling me it’s harder to fill units in the winter season (which I get), but I'm wondering if I’m missing an opportunity here.The property is literally a 1-minute drive—or a 12-minute walk—from a major hospital, and I’m starting to wonder if it might perform much better as a mid-term rental (travel nurses, short medical contracts, etc.).Right now the long-term rent is $640/mo, but MTR data in the area suggests $1,800–$2,000/mo is realistic for furnished month-to-month stays.Since I’m out of state, I’m curious:Is anyone here successfully running an MTR from out of state?

I would also suggest you maybe seek out a bigger wholesale or flipping outfit in your area that can bring you on and you can learn from them and then take those skills to do your own thing! 

Make sure the person you hire is skilled in both areas. 

It’s not that difficult provided you are skillful at selecting good tenants.

You have one of the best skill sets for flipping, value add projects, and building out a strong rental portfolio.

As a new agent, you don’t need fancy branding or a shiny office—you need skills, scripts, contract knowledge, lead gen structure, and accountability.

It really depends on the persons skills.

to be a partner you have to bring something to the table, if it isn't money it could be skills but if you had skills I think you wouldn't be here, you would be selling them and your idea to your people you know to reach your goals.

Biggest advice I’d give is to stay patient with the process, run your numbers conservatively, and choose projects that match your current skill level so you don’t get overwhelmed.If you keep things simple and focus on one good buy at a time, getting that second place by the end of 2026 definitely feels realistic.

Build skills.
