    138: Radiating Real Estate Through Medium-Term Rentals with Jamie Banks
    May 16 2024
    Mid-term rentals are an often-overlooked asset class that is gaining steam with investors. When short-term rentals prove to be too much work, mid-term rentals could be the answer. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan’s guest is Jamie Banks, a mid-term rental (MTR) investor who got her start with co-hosting. Jamie is also a multifamily investor and has quickly become an MTR expert with more than 20 managed properties under her supervision. As their conversation begins, Jonathan uncovers how Jamie started her post-college career with commercial lending, which quickly piqued her interest in becoming an investor. She explains why you should always take the deal as long as the numbers work and the property cash flows, the importance of building real-life connections with other investors, how she decided on MTRs as her area of focus, and how she hopes to set an example for other minorities in this asset class. Jamie shares why MTRs can work in any market size, the criteria you can use to identify your ideal tenant, and why you must understand the area where you’re offering an MTR. You’ll also hear Jamie’s reasoning for including a video in every listing, who’s using MTRs, the pros and cons of co-hosting, and some strategies she uses to remain successful in this asset class. If mid-term rentals aren’t on your radar, Jamie Banks makes a compelling case for why they should be.

She has 20 years of experience in private money lending, in addition to her experience as an investor. Jonathan and Stacy start their conversation with what it means to provide solution-based lending, her belief in education and collaboration that creates structure for the long-term, and what earned her the nickname the “dream killer.” Stacy outlines her strict underwriting process, what makes the wholesale industry sometimes challenging, and the automated process she uses with white glove service.
