Not all debt is bad — sometimes short-term loans help reposition a property for stronger cash flow.Examples include:• Using bridge loans to renovate before refinancing• Stabilizing rents before transitioning to long-term loans• Leveraging interest-only periodsHow have you used short-term financing to strengthen long-term ROI?

Quote from @Eddie Bradley: Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m currently looking for a 2–4 unit long-term rental property in New Jersey.

Just looking to see what’s everyone’s thoughts about investing in newark nj long term in the ghetto (C-D class ) .. the market is crazy hot right now in this area.

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 rent is below market, and I’ve had ongoing issues with the tenant.I’m thinking about leasing it out for a different type of use — something more stable, long-term, and low-maintenance.

The Lehigh Valley market remains strong on the long-term rental side. 

Esteban, it may be slightly different because I target multi-family buildings, but I always look for a value-add deal with the intention of holding long term.

Low prices and strong long-term growth do not exist together.

I've been investing for 10 years and have experience with long-term, mid-term, and short-term rentals. 

I’m thinking 6 months to start just to make sure they’re a good tenant before a long term lease.
