In this episode of The Midterm Rental Show, I break down the full story behind my third real estate acquisition a $150,000 triplex that completely changed my cash flow.

Just weeks after a failed BRRRR refinance that cost me $24,000 out of pocket, I closed on this property with another $32,000 down, leaving me nearly cashless at 23 years old. With no listing photos, existing tenants in place, and no in-unit washer/dryers, this deal came with real risk—but also massive upside.

I walk you through:

Why I made an offer without seeing the units

How I transitioned the property from $1,900/month long-term rent to nearly $5,000/month in midterm rental income

Furnishing units using 0% interest credit cards

Why in-unit washer/dryers were non-negotiable and how I made them work

How I fill units with travel nurses and construction professionals

Creative outreach strategies, including direct recruiter connections

This episode is a transparent look at the numbers, risks, mindset, and lessons behind scaling with midterm rentals and why committing fully to your ideal tenant avatar makes all the difference.

In this episode of the Mid-Term Rental Show, I’m peeling back the curtain and sharing my top three goals for 2026—both personal and business.

I break down:
• How I plan to double my mid-term rental portfolio from 10 to 20 units using the BRRRR strategy
• My vision for building the most active, action-oriented mid-term rental community in the space
• Why I want to partner with a listener or follower to build a mid-term-rental-specific service company

I also share the bigger picture behind these goals—why I’m intentionally designing my business around my life, not the other way around, and what “having fun while serving people” actually looks like heading into 2026.

In this episode, I break down my second midterm rental deal from buying a $65K property to attempting the BRRRR strategy that did not go as planned.

I walk through how I funded the deal with private money, contractor mistakes, renovation delays, a low appraisal that crushed my refi, and why I had to bring $24,000 out of pocket when I expected zero.

Despite the chaos, this property now cash flows $3K–$4K per month and taught me some of the most valuable lessons of my real estate career.

If you’re investing in midterm rentals, BRRRR deals, or remote real estate, this transparent case study will save you from costly mistakes.

Financing is one of the most confusing — and most important — parts of building a successful mid-term rental portfolio.

In this episode, I break down every major financing option you can use for mid-term rentals in plain English, exactly how I’d explain it to a friend who’s brand new to real estate.

We cover:

• Conventional loans vs. DSCR loans (and who each one is actually for)

• How DSCR loans work, including credit requirements, reserves, and prepayment penalties

• When to use hard money vs. private money — and the real pros and cons of each

• How BRRRR deals fit into mid-term rentals

• The smartest ways to finance furniture (including when leverage does and doesn’t make sense)

I also put together a free downloadable worksheet that visually breaks down everything discussed in this episode, so you don’t have to rely on memory alone. You can grab that below.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by financing options or unsure which path makes sense for your situation, this episode will give you clarity and confidence moving forward.

In this episode, I break down the very first rental property I ever bought completely sight unseen — in a city I’d never visited, at 22 years old, with no partners and no outside investors.

I walk through exactly how I found the deal remotely, why I felt confident buying without seeing it in person, and how I structured the purchase using a DSCR loan during a high–interest-rate environment.

You’ll hear the full story, including:

• How I chose the market and neighborhood from another state

• The negotiation that got the deal done (and why I almost walked away)

• How much cash I actually brought to closing

• Who this property ended up renting to — and why it worked so well as a mid-term rental

• The real numbers from year one, including cash flow and return

• What I learned about risk, confidence, and buying before you feel “ready”

Most people thought this deal was reckless. Looking back, it became one of the most foundational moves in my portfolio.

If you’ve ever wondered whether buying a rental remotely is possible — or if waiting for the “perfect time” is holding you back — this episode will give you a real-world perspective on what can happen when you take calculated action.

In this episode of The Mid-Term Rental Show, I’m doing something I’ve never done before — I’m playing a real, unedited phone call with a Furnished Finder lead that turned into a signed tenant who paid first month’s rent.

No scripts. No polish. Just a raw conversation showing exactly how I handle tenant inquiries, answer objections, explain my process, and build trust — all in real time.

You’ll hear:

• How I respond immediately to Furnished Finder inquiries

• What questions tenants actually ask before booking

• How I explain leases, payments, and extensions clearly

• How flexibility + responsiveness wins bookings

• What I’d do the same — and what I’d improve next time

The audio isn’t perfect, and neither is the call — but that’s the point. If you want a real look at how mid-term rental deals actually get done, this episode is for you.
