Choosing the right mid-term rental market can make or break your results — but most investors are looking at the wrong data. In this episode, I break down the exact method I use to find untapped MTR markets with high demand, low competition, and consistent bookings.
After operating my own properties across multiple cities — and co-hosting in even more — I’ve learned that strong MTR demand exists in far more markets than people realize. The real key isn’t demand… it’s supply.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
Why almost every city with 30,000+ people already has built-in MTR demand
Why focusing only on hospitals, universities, and major employers is misleading
The #1 factor that determines whether your unit will get booked
How to reverse-engineer market supply using Airbnb (step-by-step)
How to run “guest-mode” tests to reveal your true competition
My favorite tool for checking travel-nurse activity (Vivian.com)
The exact rule of thumb I use: never enter a market with more than 5 competitors for a 60-day stay
If you want to confidently pick your next MTR market — or validate the market you're already in — this episode gives you a simple, proven system you can use right away.
