The 30-day-plus rental niche deserves better than W-2 underwriting.

Mid-term rentals are the quiet sweet spot of real estate right now: furnished units rented 1–6 months to travel nurses, relocating families, and insurance-displaced homeowners — earning 1.5–2× long-term rents without the nightly-turnover chaos or the city STR bans. But walk that deal into a bank and they'll demand your tax returns and shrug at the income model. A DSCR loan reads the deal the way you do: if the property's income covers the payment, it qualifies — your personal income never enters the file. Purchase, refinance, or cash-out, matched across 90+ lenders.

Why 30+ days is the sweet spot

Mid-term sits between the two models everyone already knows — and quietly beats both on effort-adjusted return.

What MTR avoids

  • STR chaos: nightly turnovers, cleaning logistics, review roulette, platform dependence
  • STR regulation: nightly-rental bans and permit lotteries don't touch 30+ day stays
  • LTR ceilings: unfurnished 12-month leases at the lowest rent the market prints
  • Vacancy cliffs: MTR demand — nurses, relocations, insurance stays — books in predictable 1–6 month blocks

What the lending looks like

  • DSCR purchase loans with 20–25% down, qualified on furnished market rent
  • Conversion refis: pull equity from an LTR, furnish it, and step up to MTR income
  • Cash-out on stabilized MTRs to fund the next acquisition — the BRRRR loop, mid-term edition
  • LLC vesting, portfolio-friendly terms, and 90+ lenders competing on your file

MTR financing, in 3 steps

No tax returns, no DTI math, no explaining the business model to a branch banker.

2. The property gets underwritten

DSCR programs compare the property's rental income to its payment. Furnished market-rent analysis captures the MTR premium — 30+ day corporate and medical-stay demand is documentable income, not a story.

3. Close and cash-flow

Pick from matched options across 90+ lenders, close in the entity or personal name, and run the property. Cash-out later to fund the next door — same process.

You scale

Why MTR investors use DSCR, not the bank

Your write-offs would sink a bank file

Depreciation, expenses, and cost-seg make a profitable portfolio look like losses on a tax return. DSCR loans never look: the subject property's income against its payment is the entire income analysis.

The furnished premium is real income

Travel-nurse contracts, corporate relocations, and insurance stays pay 1.5–2× unfurnished long-term rents. The right lenders count furnished market rent — so the MTR model qualifies on its actual economics.

30+ days is the regulatory safe lane

Cities keep banning nightly rentals; 30-day-minimum stays sit outside nearly every STR ordinance. Lenders read that as durability — and it's why converting an STR or LTR to mid-term is a financeable, often rate-improving move.

Built to scale, not to cap out

Banks cap how many financed properties they'll tolerate; DSCR lenders are built for portfolios. Close in an LLC, keep deals separate, and repeat the playbook — 90+ lenders means door six prices like door one.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a mid-term rental loan?
Financing for furnished properties rented in 30-day-to-6-month blocks — typically a DSCR (debt-service coverage ratio) loan that qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income. If the rent covers the payment, the deal works: no tax returns, no W-2s, no DTI analysis. Purchase, rate/term refi, and cash-out are all available.
How do lenders count mid-term rental income?
The good ones use furnished market-rent analysis — what comparable furnished units actually command from traveling professionals, relocations, and insurance placements — rather than only an unfurnished lease-in-place. That difference is often what makes the MTR premium financeable. Part of our job is routing your file to the lenders who underwrite it that way.
Who rents mid-term, really?
Travel nurses on 13-week contracts, relocating families between homes, insurance-displaced homeowners during repairs, corporate projects, and remote workers doing a season somewhere. It's need-driven demand that books months at a time and treats the home like a home.
Can I convert my long-term rental to mid-term and refinance on the higher income?
Yes — it's one of the most common plays we finance. A cash-out or rate/term refi funds the furnishing and setup, and once the property runs as an MTR, its stronger income profile supports the DSCR math. Some investors do it precisely to reach the next purchase's down payment.
What down payment or equity do I need?
DSCR programs typically want 20–25% down on purchases (or the equivalent equity on refis). Stronger coverage ratios and credit open better pricing tiers, but the property's income does the core qualifying.
Does my credit still matter?
It shapes pricing and leverage, not the income analysis. Most DSCR programs want 660+, some go lower with more equity. Your personal income and DTI stay out of the file entirely.
Can I close in an LLC?
Yes — LLC vesting is standard in DSCR lending, and most investors use it. Personal-name closings work too.
What about a mix — some months mid-term, some short-term?
Documentable. Hybrid operating histories and market-rent analyses both have lender homes; bring the actual numbers and we'll match the file to programs that read them favorably.
