Is It a Buyer's Market or a Seller's Market? How to Evaluate Your Midterm Rental City On this episode of the Real Estate Education Podcast, Aaron and James dig into one of the most common questions in real estate: is it a buyer's market or a seller's market? The answer—like most things in real estate—is more nuanced than you think. Using up-to-date data from Denver and insights from local lender Lonnie Gleisner, we break down the current housing market into three sub-markets: condos, townhomes, and detached single-family homes—and explain why your answer will depend on your asset class. Plus, Erin shares her insights from consulting with midterm rental investors across the U.S., including how to pick the right city for your MTR strategy, the dangers of analysis paralysis, and why BiggerPockets-style advice like the 1% rule can actually cost you money.

On this week's episode, I talk with Jesse Vasquez about all things midterm rental. I've done episodes on the MTR strategy before, but this one was next level in terms of PRACTICAL knowledge you can apply today. By the time you're finished with this conversation, you'll know exactly where to find your next midterm guest, how much to charge them, how to keep the relationship warm for next time, AND how to make money even after they check out by referring them to their next rental. My biggest takeaway from this episode was that you don't even need property for these tips to work. Jesse shows us how he's making $30-40k per MONTH in referral fees alone. The bottom line, listen to this only if you're ready for 100% occupancy, because your booking calendar is about to be slammed with leads coming in.
