How Real Estate Agents Can Help Clients Earn More With Mid-Term Rentals

You just helped your client close on a great investment property—or maybe they inherited a family home and don’t know what to do with it. They ask you: “Should I get a tenant?” And your instinct is to point them to a long-term lease. But in 2025, there's a better answer: mid-term rentals. And if you’re a real estate agent, helping your clients explore this strategy can unlock more income, faster decisions, and repeat business.

1. What Is a Mid-Term Rental (And Why It’s Different)?
A mid-term rental is a furnished property rented for 30+ days, usually to:
✅ Travel nurses
✅ Relocation clients
✅ Remote workers
✅ Insurance claims or construction displacement
✅ Digital nomads

It’s not quite Airbnb. It’s not quite a traditional lease. It’s a high-demand, low-hassle middle ground—and your clients probably haven’t heard of it.

2. It Solves the “I Don’t Want a Tenant” Problem
Most property owners hesitate to rent long-term because:
❌ They don’t want to deal with bad tenants
❌ They’re scared of eviction laws (especially in Ontario)
❌ They want to use the property occasionally
❌ They’re not ready to give up control for a year

Mid-term solves that. It’s flexible, guest-based, and doesn’t lock them into a tenant nightmare. As an agent, offering this option makes you look like a problem-solver, not just a deal-closer.

3. It Increases Their Monthly Revenue (Without Full Airbnb Hassles)
✅ Traditional tenant: $2,300/month
✅ Mid-term guest: $3,000–$4,000/month
✅ No daily turnovers
✅ Fewer expenses than Airbnb (cleaning, messaging, supplies)

For your investor clients, this means more cash flow with less operational drag. And if they want full Airbnb later? Mid-term lets them ramp up slowly.

4. It’s Legal in Most Markets Where Airbnb Isn’t
In cities where Airbnb is restricted or capped, 30+ day stays are usually exempt.
✅ No special licenses needed
✅ No nightly tax restrictions
✅ Treated like a furnished lease
You help your clients stay compliant, profitable, and in control of their investment.

5. It Adds Value to Your Real Estate Services
If you’re a real estate agent or property manager:
✅ You can offer mid-term rental setup as an add-on service
✅ You can refer them to a vetted co-hosting company (like BookedHosts)
✅ You become the go-to resource for property income—not just buying/selling

You’re no longer just the agent who helped them close. You’re now the expert who made them $36K+ a year without tenants.

6. It Opens the Door to Repeat Business
When clients succeed with one mid-term unit:
✅ They’ll buy more investment properties
✅ They’ll refer other owners
✅ They’ll call you before they list a property or make their next move

Helping someone monetize a unit earns more trust than any postcard or holiday fridge magnet.

7. You Don’t Have to Do It All Yourself
If you’re not a property manager or Airbnb expert, don’t worry—you just need the right partner.
✅ BookedHosts handles full setup, staging, pricing, guest vetting, and cleanings
✅ Your clients get better returns
✅ You stay the hero who brought them the opportunity
It’s a win-win—and it sets you apart from every other agent just selling doors.
