Midterm Rental Checklists + How To Know If You are Ready to Host a Midterm Rental
This is a common fear
Whether you are new to investing or converting a long-term or short-term rental into a midterm rental, you may be wondering if you are ready? This is a common fear in the midterm rental world. In fact, if it is your first investment, just know you are in good company: all first-time investors tend to be pretty stressed.
To help you understand if you are ready for a midterm rental, I have made a list to guide you. Here are a few things that are harder than running a mid-term rental:
Running a short-term rental
Raising a child
Training a puppy
Having a successful social media feed
Completing an undergrad
Successfully filing an insurance claim and recouping money
Long division
You may think this list is in jest, and it kind of is- but it kind of is not. Truly, running a short-term rental is much harder than running a midterm rental. If you've raised a kid, you likely have a strong sense of priorities and time management (same with completing college) and you can definitely do this. Likewise, running a successful social media feed is much harder and more time consuming than a midterm rental.
If you are still unsure if you are ready to run a mid-term rental, try to remove the vagueness from the fear. Instead of saying "it could go bad" ask yourself "how specifically do I think it will go bad?" or "What is the worst case scenario with a midterm rental?" And then, "How do I prevent that?" or "How do I try to prevent that?" If this is the fear, what are the steps I can take to stop that from happening?
