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)?

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.

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

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

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.

Switching tactics to long term.

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.

Shea,Do your homework on the benefits or Pro's and Con's of a Heloc versus a Cash out refinance. 

Time I spend managing this building 0-2 hours a month.Class C 4 unit in a landlord friendly city bought $135k put about $50k in and cash out refi'd at $265k.

Rehab consisted of complete gut renovation of kitchen/dining area, new hardwood floors and refreshed bathrooms (new vanity and paint).I am bullish about the long-term appreciation prospects of the property and have trouble envisioning the hold strategy over the next 10-15 years.
