Why 2025 is the best time to implement Hybrid STR/MTR Model for Tax Benefits with Ruben Kanya - Episode #335

In this timely episode of In The Lab, Ruben breaks down when and why you should consider shifting to a hybrid short-term and mid-term rental model and how the latest tax legislation makes it even more lucrative. Coming off last week’s Driving Conversations with AI vs. Questions, he explains how operators can strategically layer MTR contracts over STR availability to increase monthly income while protecting long-term upside.

Ruben shares why hybrid models aren’t just a fallback when STRs are soft—but a proactive strategy that aligns with seasonality, market demand,and most importantly the tax code. He covers how to position your properties to attract both leisure guests and insurance contracts, the systems you need in place to pull it off, and how to avoid making reactive decisions that hurt your business in the long run.

If you’re looking to increase occupancy, optimize taxes, and build a more resilient and profitable rental portfolio in today’s evolving landscape, tune in now and learn why now is the best time to execute the hybrid STR/MTR model.
