Today we talk with David Rosenbeck in Fort Wayne, Indiana with 6 mid-term rentals and 1 long term rental. In 2020, David was a nurse practitioner making $120k annually but wasn’t seeing much of a difference in his bank account so he googled “what should I do with my money in my 20’s” and landed on short term rentals first but found the mid term rental strategy was more his style. David will explain his unique buy box and how misfit properties can make the best mid-term rentals.
