30-Day Stay: A Real Estate Investor’s Guide to Mastering the Medium-Term Rental

By Zeona McIntyre and Sarah Weaver

• CURRENT MARKET RELEVANCY—With rising interest rates and home pricing, the medium-term rental strategy is a great way to create more secure cash flow than traditional rentals.
• IMPENDING RECESSION—Going to traditional vacation rental markets could be riskier with a looming recession. Investors are looking for the cash flow of a vacation rental while getting the security of a longer-term rental.
• AIRBNB RESTRICTIONS—There's a trend of cities cracking down on Airbnb properties, but a medium-term rental avoids these restrictions with month-long (or longer) stays. It's a great option for Airbnb investors who have lost their existing properties to new restrictions.
• EXPANDING MARKET—The audience for this title is especially growing post-pandemic. Two primary groups that his book serves are digital nomads and traveling nurses, both of which prefer a medium-term home rental over a long hotel stay. The digital nomad population in America has grown massively since the move to remote work, up to 15.5 million in 2021 versus just 4.8 million in 2018.  There are also 1.7 million traveling nurses in the US, a number that has grown 35% since pre-pandemic times with 40% additional growth expected.
• AUTHOR FOLLOWING—The authors have a collective 17,00 followers on Instagram. Zeona is the co-host of the Invest2FI Podcast.
• AUTHOR EXPERTISE—Zeona is one of the "veterans" of the MTR strategy. She's been holding medium-rentals since 2012. Sarah is an experienced real estate agent and investor.
• BIGGERPOCKETS PLATFORM—The authors are booked on multiple BiggerPockets podcasts (4.8 million downloads/month combined) and will speak at BPCon 2022 (~2,000 in-person attendees) to promote their book.
