The Mid-Term Rental Show

Bailey Kramer shares the key tools and ordering hacks she’s using to take a client’s vacant west-coast Florida property to fully furnished. She organizes every room’s items in a detailed Google Sheet with links, quantities, notes, and order/delivery tracking, which the client can review to approve or give feedback. She’s sourcing major items from Costco (including dining set, couch, and TVs) for quality, white-glove delivery, and multi-item discounts; kitchen supplies from Amazon using an Amazon Business account for better pricing and by selecting a specific Prime delivery day to earn 1% back; and additional discounts via Minoan for brands like Wayfair and Crate & Barrel. She also orders basics from Walmart Business Plus and towels from Sam’s Club, and uses FedEx/UPS vacation holds to consolidate deliveries into one day. She outlines an install week plan: fly in Tuesday, deliveries Wednesday, furniture assembly Thursday, organizing Friday, photos Saturday, then handoff to the owner.00:00 Welcome and Overview00:17 Project and Client Context01:31 Google Sheets Tracking System02:56 Costco Furniture Discounts04:06 Amazon Business and Delivery Hacks05:46 Minoan Deals Wayfair and Crate06:46 Walmart and Sams Club Essentials07:19 Delivery Day Scheduling Strategy08:26 Install Week Plan in Florida09:38 Co Hosting Options and Wrap Up

Host Bailey Kramer shares 18 personal facts that may surprise people despite his owning over $1M in real estate: he owns no stocks or crypto (though his fiancée does), rents instead of owning a home, doesn’t own or lease a car, and has no personal debt. He’s frugal with clothing and possessions, keeps an older iPhone by replacing the battery, and uses credit card points (especially Southwest Companion Pass) to make most flights nearly free. His biggest recurring expenses are health-related (gym, recovery studio, workout app, meal prep). He makes decisions quickly, prioritizes travel experiences over five-star hotels, and rarely talks real estate with friends/family. He’s the first in his family to own rentals, dropped out of college in his last semester as his co-hosting business grew, started working in high school, learned money habits largely by doing the opposite of his parents, struggles with hiring/delegating, and becomes introverted in groups of five or more.00:00 18 Surprising Money Habits00:17 No Stocks Just Real Estate01:30 Why I Still Rent02:48 Living Without a Car04:48 Zero Personal Debt05:28 Cheap Clothes Simple Style07:02 Not Into Flashy Stuff08:18 Keeping the Same iPhone09:47 Free Flights With Points11:29 Spending on Health13:45 Fast Decisions Minimal Thinking15:07 Experiences Over Luxury Hotels16:56 Real Estate Stays Offline17:47 No Family Rental Background18:52 Dropping Out to Build Business23:29 Working Since High School27:08 Money Lessons From Parents28:56 Hiring and Delegation Struggles29:43 Introvert in Big Groups30:42 Wrap Up and Takeaways

Bailey Kramer thanks listeners for their feedback and shares that he is hiring a virtual assistant to take over low-dollar, time-consuming tasks like guest and tenant messaging so he can focus on higher-value work. He recounts dropping out of college after earning $5,000/month from a co-hosting business, scaling to 30 managed properties, then reducing to about 10 to focus on acquiring his own portfolio, now at 10 units, with another potential deal pending. He plans to grow his co-hosting business in Q2–Q3 2026, especially for midterm rentals, leveraging insurance and travel-nurse connections plus operational systems and preventative maintenance, and invites owners to reach out. He will document the VA hiring/training process and is also hiring full-time content help. He closes with a health update: after a DEXA scan showed 25% body fat, he’s cutting calories, training five days/week, and aiming toward 15%.00:00 Welcome And Thanks01:02 Why Hire A Virtual Assistant01:15 Dropping Out And Early Hustle02:40 Scaling Co Hosting Then Buying03:17 Cutting Clients And Refocusing05:05 Delegating Low Value Tasks06:53 Growth Plan For 202608:41 Offer Co Hosting Help09:09 Documenting VA And Content Team10:53 Health Journey Segment11:24 DEXA Results And Goals12:34 Training Diet And Progress13:48 Wrap Up And Contact

Host Bailey Kramer shares a done-for-you midterm rental client deal for Stehon: a Midwest duplex found on Redfin with only exterior photos, listed at $115,000 and now under contract for $95,000. The fully occupied property currently brings in $1,500/month total on month-to-month leases, with a plan to renovate and furnish each unit into midterm rentals expected to generate about $3,000/month combined. Investor First Capital is providing a hard money loan, with Stephon bringing roughly $15,000 to closing. Units will be renovated one at a time while managing tenant move-outs to maintain some income, then refinanced with an estimated after-repair value around $150,000 to reduce out-of-pocket cash. Bailey also mentions another client fourplex opportunity and a possible Florida trip to document furnishing a new-build midterm rental.00:00 Show Intro00:15 Done For You Service00:41 Finding The Duplex01:40 Negotiation And Walkthrough02:33 Under Contract Numbers03:13 Renovation And Refi Plan05:13 More Deal Examples06:10 Upcoming Florida Setup06:44 Questions And How To Reach Me07:30 Wrap Up And Next Videos

Host Bailey Kramer shares a portfolio update on the Midterm Rental Show, outlining his busiest midterm rental week in months with five of his 10 units turning over. He details each checkout: a one-month traveling medical student with a near-immediate replacement; a 243-night insurance-claims stay ending April 1 with no replacement after a Furnish Finder lead fell through; a three-month guest leaving with a future tenant already leased and paid via Baselane starting in June (leaving April–May to fill); a construction worker checking out with a new six-month stay lined up about a week later; and a three-to-four-month guest with a next-day move-in. Overall, three units have immediate move-ins and two need filling, highlighting that occupancy and turnover timing can vary widely.00:00 Big Week Preview00:15 Why Five Checkouts00:54 Checkout One Quick Turn01:21 Long Insurance Stay Ends02:07 Gap Until June Lease02:35 Construction Worker Swap02:58 Three Move Ins Two Vacancies03:26 Transparency And Next Steps03:59 Midterm Reality Check04:23 Wrap Up And Sign Off

Host Bailey Kramer recounts a problematic midterm Airbnb stay that began with a January six-month inquiry from a local employee booking for a European coworker. After refusing a pre-booking tour, Bailey allowed a post-booking walkthrough with his cleaner, and the local booker later did another walkthrough before move-in, both finding the home fine. Once the European guest arrived, she reported a kitchen window leak and then sent multiple nitpicky cleaning photos, demanded a deep clean, and was described by the cleaner as extremely OCD (e.g., checking behind the fridge). Weeks later, the local employee reported nonstop complaints and threats to report the listing; she arranged another inspection with Bailey’s handyman and cleaner, which triggered the guest’s camera alerts and demand that the cleaner leave. The inspection found only minor fixable issues, and the company decided to move the guest to an extended-stay hotel, shortening the reservation to one more month.00:00 Welcome and Setup00:17 January Booking Inquiry01:55 Pre Booking Walkthrough Rules03:06 Move In Day Issues Begin04:48 Cleaning Complaints and Deep Clean07:44 Three Weeks Later Escalation Call10:47 Inspection and Camera Drama12:38 Decision to End Stay Early13:38 Lessons Learned and Wrap Up

He notes he’s hiring help for podcast/YouTube editing, then explains that having a full floor plan with dimensions makes remote furnishing much easier, followed by aligning on the client’s vision and building a room-by-room mood board. He uses a customizable furnishing and supplies checklist template and sources most furniture from Wayfair (often with Minoan discounts), plus Costco for select items like a couch and dining set, Amazon for kitchen/bath essentials (via a business account), and sometimes Walmart depending on property price point. For design mockups, he uses ChatGPT image generation, and for assembly he hires local help via Thumbtack, coordinating with photos and FaceTime.00:00 Welcome to the Show00:22 Housekeeping Updates01:02 Why Remote Furnishing Works02:27 Floor Plans and Vision03:42 Furnishing Checklist Template04:36 Where to Buy Everything07:33 Using ChatGPT for Mockups08:44 Local Install and Assembly09:35 Wrap Up and Next Steps

Bailey Kramer shares completing a cash-out refinance on her first solo midterm rental, bought in 2022 for $115,000 (listed at $130,000) with an 8.5% rate and about $35,000 down. The property has averaged $2,500–$3,000 per month and appreciated; a recent appraisal came in at $145,000. She refinanced into a new $108,000 loan at 6.6%, paid off the prior $80,000 mortgage, and received a $19,734.94 tax-free wire after lender fees (~$2,700) and required prepaid insurance and taxes, with an additional escrow refund expected. Despite the larger loan balance, the lower rate keeps payments about the same. She explains cash-out refinancing, plans to reinvest the proceeds into future real estate opportunities, and is delaying a similar refinance on her triplex until rates drop back into the sixes.00:00 Cash Out Refi Reveal00:47 Backstory First Rental02:12 Property Performance Wins02:36 Why Refinance Now03:23 Cash Out Refi Explained05:03 Fees Closing Breakdown06:45 Rates Next Refi Plan08:00 Reinvesting The Proceeds08:39 The Real Estate Cheat Code09:35 Wrap Up And Next Steps

He emphasizes pricing based on current market alternatives and competition rather than past performance, and recommends using professional, photo-ready staging and photography. He advises making a phone number accessible on Furnish Finder (using a business number if needed) and adding a host profile photo on Airbnb, noting that missing photos and zero reviews reduce trust. He strongly suggests allowing pets to stand out since fewer listings do, and charging a premium if desired. For new listings, he recommends finding ways to get initial reviews, and ensuring Airbnb amenities are accurately checked so the property appears in guest filters.00:00 Welcome and Episode Goal00:15 Why Listings Struggle01:19 Fix Pricing With Comps02:26 Upgrade Your Photos03:06 Add Easy Contact Options03:46 Build Trust on Airbnb04:18 Allow Pets for Demand05:14 Get Early Reviews Fast05:46 Complete Amenities Checklist06:20 Wrap Up and Next Steps

He sold his Tesla to CarMax for about $25,000 while owing roughly $30,000, paying $5,000 to exit the loan and eliminating about $1,500/month in car-related expenses. A co-hosted Illinois duplex had a downstairs guest altercation involving police, an arrest, a hospital visit, guest removals, minor damages (broken windows, picture frame, pulled socket, floor vent, bloodstains), and vacancy while re-renting. Another Illinois co-host listing received a first booking: a 21-day July stay for about $18,000. He found a duplex deal for a client (listed $115,000, negotiated to around $90,000) and a furnished $350,000 fourplex.

Click Here to grab the MTR Starter Kit For just $1!Bailey Kramer explains why out-of-state real estate investing is a major opportunity and argues that being far from a property shouldn’t prevent investors from getting started, especially if their local market numbers don’t work. He says many people overestimate the value of personally visiting properties and confuse emotional comfort with effectiveness, since most problems still require hired experts. Kramer notes that being local can create unproductive habits of handling low-value tasks, and emphasizes that remote success depends mainly on having a strong cleaner and handyman, supported by systems like smart locks, photos/videos from vendors, and online tools for rent collection, automation, and screening. He shares his experience running properties remotely (including 30 short-term rentals) and says midterm rentals are operationally easier, adding he rarely visits except sometimes to furnish a property to save money.00:00 Out of State Mindset03:12 Why Proximity Feels Safe04:54 Tangible Doesn’t Mean Touch06:08 What If Something Breaks08:02 Local Can Hurt Scale09:12 Cleaner and Handyman Duo10:13 Starter Kit Plug11:02 Systems and Smart Locks12:18 Midterm Easier Than STR13:15 You Don’t Need Expertise15:22 When I Visit In Person16:07 Final Takeaways

Interested in a FREE 1 on 1 coaching call (will be recorded for the podcast): Click HereBailey Kramer explains why many investors misunderstand midterm rental market saturation by judging a city based on total listing counts rather than true comparable competition. He argues saturation is usually specific to bedroom count and property type, since different bedroom counts serve different guest avatars, budgets, and use cases. His key measure is how many similar options an ideal guest would realistically consider, because too many direct comparables reduces pricing power and squeezes margins. He recommends identifying the most common bedroom count to avoid, finding underserved bedroom counts, and then validating demand drivers such as hospitals, construction, universities, insurance placements, and major employers. He also stresses the numbers must still pencil on acquisition and returns, and that struggling hosts should objectively assess positioning (furniture, photos, layout, target guest) before blaming the market.00:00 Market Saturation Myth01:14 Bedroom Count Lens02:24 Comparable Options Rule05:04 Supply Gap Checklist07:52 Demand Drivers Matter09:59 Free Coaching Invite11:06 Pricing Power and Numbers12:57 Positioning in Competition13:38 Key Takeaways and Wrap

Interested in my Done For You Mid Term Rental Service? Apply Here: https://mtrturnkey.com/homeBailey Kramer hosts the Midterm Rental Show and explains five common mistakes people make when trying to start midterm rentals: underestimating how many offers, negotiations, and follow-ups it takes to land a good deal; wanting absolute certainty on income despite real estate having no guarantees; spending too much time learning and not enough time taking action (choosing a market, underwriting deals, submitting offers); moving too slowly and missing great deals because they can’t decide fast enough; and expecting the first deal to be perfect instead of using it for experience and proof of concept, noting even a lower cash-on-cash return can still compare favorably to typical stock market returns and provide monthly cash flow.

Bailey Kramer, a full-time real estate investor and longtime Hospitable user, joins the Hospitable Host podcast to explain his shift from co-hosting up to 30 short-term rentals across multiple markets to primarily owning and operating 10 midterm rental units. He says the main driver was operational burden from frequent STR turnovers, while MTRs run at a slower pace with fewer turnovers and can be managed solo using similar systems. Kramer addresses misconceptions that MTRs are less profitable, noting STR revenue can be higher but often carries heavy turnover-related costs; he highlights utilities as an overlooked MTR expense. He discusses using Hospitable for automated messaging, cleaner coordination, smart lock codes, and managing manual bookings from Furnish Finder and insurance stays, and emphasizes minimum-night settings and a hybrid STR/MTR seasonal approach. He also shares why he launched the Midterm Rental Show and a community to cover MTR-specific nuances, stressing patience and long-term mindset.00:00 Welcome and Episode Setup00:53 Meet Bailey Kramer01:45 From Co Hosting to Ownership02:22 Why Switch to Midterm Rentals03:46 Midterm Profit Misconceptions05:00 Operations at Slower Speed06:28 Using Hospitable for MTRs07:52 Systems That Break First09:16 Hybrid STR to MTR Strategy10:58 Podcast and Community Launch13:50 Scaling Mindset and Patience16:47 Quick Fire Midterm Q and A19:22 Where to Find Bailey20:18 Wrap Up and Subscribe

He also describes his done-for-you midterm rental service that helps clients choose markets, analyze and underwrite all qualifying listings, and negotiate terms to turn good deals into great ones, typically working with investors who have at least $50,000 saved and a 680+ credit score.00:00 Welcome and Overview00:47 Key One 2% Rule02:18 Key Two Deal Structure05:51 Key Three Do the Work07:10 Done for You Service07:43 How We Find Deals09:37 Who We Work With10:06 Wrap Up and Next Steps

Bailey Kramer shares a transparent personal and business update, including wins and regrets. He is pursuing a cash-out refinance on his first solo rental property bought for $115,000 at 8.5% interest, expecting to lower the rate to about 6.5%, pull out roughly $30,000, and keep the payment increase under $100, with plans to refinance another property next. On the downside, he is selling his Tesla Model 3, which he bought to reduce a large tax bill but now regrets due to high monthly costs and being upside down (owing about $30,000 on a $22,000–$25,000 value). He also regrets financing 50% of his fiancée Ellie’s engagement ring, now paid off.

Bailey Kramer explains his approach to making offers in today’s market by focusing on numbers that work for him rather than list price. He recounts buying a property listed at $110,000 by initially offering about $60,000 and ultimately closing at $85,000, which has since performed well as a midterm rental. He then describes calling an agent about another nearby listing (3 bed/1 bath, 884 sq ft) priced at about $170 per square foot despite needing roughly $20,000 in repairs, and suggesting an offer around $75,000 based on $85 per square foot; the agent laughed and noted the sellers don’t want an investor. Bailey notes the home has been on market 45 days, the seller moved in with a fiancé, and emphasizes that time can increase seller motivation, so investors should submit low offers and follow up.00:00 Welcome and Topic00:13 Recent Offer Context00:39 Last Deal Lowball Win01:53 New Listing Breakdown02:50 Calling the Listing Agent03:47 The Lowball Math05:06 Seller Motivation Intel05:37 Why Time Creates Leverage06:23 More Lowball Examples06:51 Final Takeaways

One-bed units primarily attract traveling healthcare professionals (typical 13-week stays, often extending) and are cheap to furnish but have a limited renter pool; his $150,000 triplex units rent for $1,650/month. Two-bed/one-bath homes draw a mix of insurance stays, traveling nurses, construction workers, and pet owners, averaging $2,500/month but face heavier competition. Three-bed/one-bath homes rent around $3,000/month and host more people but have higher utilities and a one-bath limitation. Three-bed/two-bath homes offer the most flexibility, lower competition in his market, rent about $3,000–$3,500/month, and are his top pick.00:00 Best Property Question00:35 Portfolio And Game Plan01:04 One Bed One Bath03:18 Two Bed One Bath05:30 Three Bed One Bath07:01 Three Bed Two Bath08:18 Key Takeaways08:50 Final Pick And Wrap

Host Bailey Kramer explains why short-term rentals have become much harder than they were 2–4 years ago and outlines five main causes: (1) supply has exploded since the COVID-era boom while travel demand has normalized, creating intense competition and a race to the bottom on price; (2) guests are booking last minute because they see abundant availability, which reduces revenue predictability and forces hosts to discount; (3) Airbnb’s fee shift to a 15.5% host fee (0% guest fee) makes listings feel more expensive to guests, contributing to more 4-star reviews and review-related risk; (4) increasing regulation and uncertainty as cities restrict or tax short-term rentals; and (5) rising guest expectations for expensive amenities (hot tubs, murals, game rooms, pickleball courts, etc.) that are costly to maintain and can drive refunds and lower reviews. Kramer recommends pivoting to midterm rentals (30+ night stays), which target different tenants such as traveling nurses, construction crews, corporate relocations, displaced families, and people between home purchases who prioritize safe, furnished housing with fast Wi‑Fi and a stocked kitchen over luxury amenities. He argues there is less competition for longer stays (e.g., 60-night searches show fewer listings), fewer turnovers, lower operational stress, and more predictable income. He shares that he shifted from short-term rentals to running 10 midterm rental units and gives an example of a property averaging $2,800/month that could gross around $3,000 as a short-term rental but with far more turnovers and operational burden. He notes that while peak revenue may be slightly lower, stability and reduced expenses can improve profitability, and that short-term rentals still work mainly for ultra-luxury or ultra-unique properties. He suggests struggling hosts try setting a 30-night minimum stay and invites viewers to learn more via his podcast, YouTube channel, or Instagram.00:00 Why Airbnb Feels Impossible Right Now (Intro + What You’ll Do Instead)01:10 Reason #1: Supply Explosion + Demand Normalized (Race to the Bottom)02:20 Reason #2: Last-Minute Bookings Kill Predictability03:32 Reason #3: Airbnb Fee Shift = Higher Prices, Lower Reviews04:39 Reason #4: Regulation Risk and City Crackdowns05:21 Reason #5: Sky-High Guest Expectations & Amenity Burnout06:16 The Pivot: Why Midterm Rentals Win (30–60+ Night Stays)06:56 Who Midterm Rentals Serve + How to Spot the Opportunity08:03 Real Portfolio Example: More Stability, Fewer Turnovers, Strong Margins09:30 Wrap-Up: Airbnb Isn’t Dead—Pivot to 30+ Nights + Next Steps

Is now actually a good time to get into mid-term rentals? Or should you wait for interest rates to drop, prices to fall, or the “perfect” market conditions?In this episode of The Mid-Term Rental Show, Bailey breaks down why this question almost always comes from beginners and why focusing on timing the market is one of the biggest mistakes new investors make.Using real data from one of his own mid-term rental markets, Bailey walks through how supply cycles actually work, why competition naturally rises and falls, and how investors who stay the course are rewarded when others panic and exit.If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the “right time,” this episode will reframe how you think about real estate investing entirely.• Why “time in the market” matters more than timing the market• How Airbnb and furnished rental supply naturally cycles up and down• What happens when too many investors flood a market too quickly• Why many investors quit during short downturns (and why that creates opportunity)• How Bailey bought his first mid-term rental when rates were high and people were scared• Why a long-term mindset is non-negotiable for real estate success• When it isn’t a good time to invest in real estateBailey also explains how holding through slower periods allowed him to raise prices later, benefit from appreciation, and stay positioned for long-term cash flow and flexibility.If you’re willing to hold for at least five years and operate with a long-term mindset, it’s always a good time to get into real estate. The worst strategy is waiting on the sidelines trying to predict the perfect moment.

In this episode of The Mid-Term Rental Show, I break down my most recent acquisition — three fully furnished mid-term rental properties purchased in a single off-market transaction.What makes this deal unique is that I didn’t find it on Zillow…I co-hosted these properties for years before eventually buying them from the owner.I walk through:How the deal originated from an Instagram connection years earlierWhy the seller wanted to exit — and how that created opportunityThe exact purchase price, financing structure (portfolio DSCR loan), and seller creditAppraisal numbers, equity at closing, and total cash requiredWhy I chose to move forward even though this wasn’t a BRRRR dealA costly mistake I almost made by using a non-standard contractLessons learned from negotiating directly with a seller (no agents involved)This episode is a real, transparent look at how long-term relationships, off-market deals, and understanding your numbers can lead to massive opportunities in mid-term rentals.If you’re scaling your portfolio, transitioning from co-hosting to ownership, or curious how to buy cash-flowing, furnished rentals with tenants already in place, this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Mid-Term Rental Show, I break down a real, unfolding tenant dispute that’s pushing dangerously close to a lawsuit.What started as a routine traveling-nurse booking quickly spiraled into claims of misrepresentation, mold, uninhabitable conditions, and threats of legal action—all despite prompt repairs, a full bathroom replacement, and repeated good-faith efforts to resolve the situation.I walk you through:The exact timeline from move-in to escalationHow small maintenance complaints can turn into lease-termination threatsWhy opinions ≠ legal grounds for breaking a leaseThe specific lease clauses (mold, habitability, late fees, attorney fees) that protect landlordsHow I’m handling rent refusal, legal bluffing, and next stepsThis episode is a real-world case study on why strong leases matter, how to stay professional under pressure, and what every landlord—especially mid-term rental operators—needs to know before something like this happens to them.⚠️ Real estate isn’t always passive.

In this episode of The Mid-Term Rental Show, I break from the usual tactics and numbers to talk about grit, risk, and belief — inspired by an unlikely national championship run from the Indiana Hoosiers.Indiana didn’t have five-star recruits. They didn’t have the biggest budget or the flashiest roster. What they did have was relentless work ethic, a coach willing to bet on himself, and players willing to risk it all when it mattered.I draw parallels between Indiana’s rise, Curt Cignetti’s journey to head coach, and my own path — dropping out of college, taking unpopular risks, and grinding my way into real estate and mid-term rentals without a safety net.This episode isn’t about having the best resources.It’s about doing what others won’t, trusting yourself when no one else does, and going all-in when the moment calls for it.If you’ve ever felt like an underdog — in real estate, business, or life — this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Mid-Term Rental Show, I break down my fifth mid-term rental deal from start to finish — including how I found it, negotiated it, funded it with private money, renovated it, furnished it, and refinanced it with almost no money left in the deal.This property started as a messy Zillow listing with no Airbnb comps, a destroyed bathroom, and multiple liens — but ended up appraising for $162,500 after a ~$25k renovation.I walk through:How I evaluated a deal with no short-term rental compsWhy I stuck to my price and how the negotiation actually played outThe private money + renovation funding structureWhat went wrong (and what I’d never do again)The final refinance numbers and DSCR loan termsHow this property is performing as a mid-term rental todayIf you’re trying to combine the BRRRR strategy with mid-term rentals, this episode will give you a real, unfiltered look at what it actually takes.

Are mid-term rentals getting oversaturated… or is that just noise?In this episode of The Mid-Term Rental Show, I break down one of the biggest questions I get from investors right now: Has demand for mid-term rentals slowed down?We unpack the two forces that actually matter — supply and demand — and why most people misunderstand what’s really happening in the market. I share what I’ve seen after operating furnished rentals for 5+ years across multiple markets, why rental strategies are cyclical (just like the stock market), and how pricing power shifts as supply rises and falls.If you’re wondering whether you should wait on the sidelines or jump in now, this episode will help you think about time in the market vs timing the market — and how to position yourself for long-term success with mid-term rentals.

In this episode of The Mid-Term Rental Show, I’m sharing a real situation from one of my MTR properties where a tenant complained about slow WiFi — even though I was already paying for the fastest internet plan available.Instead of adding another internet bill or overcomplicating things, I found a simple fix that cost just $3 per month and ended up saving me over $500 per year, while making my tenant way happier.I walk you through:Why separate internet plans in multi-unit rentals are often a waste of moneyWhat caused the slow WiFi (even with a high-speed plan)The exact solution I used to boost internet speed across unitsHow this setup works for duplexes, triplexes, and other small multifamily MTRsIf you own or are considering a mid-term rental — especially in a multi-unit property — this episode will show you how to cut expenses without sacrificing the tenant experience.
