You are in the heart of tourism and travel in that neck of the woods so there’s tons of competition.

Fannie Mae+1Talk to a mortgage broker who knows multifamily owner-occupant loans — product availability varies by lender and changes rapidly.4) California vs out-of-state — decision factorsPros staying in CA: easier property management (you live on site), faster hands-on control, potential appreciation in some areas.Pros going out of state: more cashflow and lower entry prices in many Midwest/Southern markets — you’ll trade more travel/remote management for higher yields.Consider: rental market demand, vacancy rates, property taxes, landlord-friendly laws, and ability to travel/manage repairs.

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)?

The demand for MTRs in Austin has been quite steady, especially with travel nurses, contractors, and people relocating for tech jobs.

I love the super extreme guys who are young and not married, who buy a triplex, rent out all three units, and live in a $7k trailer in the driveway for a year.
