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

Mid-renovation is a different animal, but we've done many of them.

@Musarat YusufaliHey Musarat, great question—Austin has strong demand for mid‑term rentals thanks to things like tech relocation and contracting work, but the entry cost and competition are high.

Mid-renovation projects are only good if you are getting them at a crazy low price.

On market ~4–8 weeks in the mid-$700s.Considering a reduction into the high-$710s versus a deeper move toward the low-$710s.

Hey Ben,Totally normal — two weeks with lots of inquiries but no bookings yet happens all the time when you’re new to mid-term rentals.

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.

I’ve noticed many newer investors struggle when it comes to matching the right loan type to the project.
Would anyone find it helpful if I shared a few examples of how experienced investors structure their fix & ...

I mainly focus on the Midwest, and what I’ve seen work well is lining up a property manager who can handle both mid-term and short-term rentals, coordinate cleaning, and market the unit effectively across platforms.

You can get this funded, but you’ll need a lender who’s comfortable stepping in mid-project.
