Investment Program
The SDI MTR/Hybrid Program: fully furnished mid-term rentals in metro Atlanta, managed day to day by our local team. Hybrid homes are designed to earn a multiple of long-term cash flow.
What is a Mid-Term Rental (MTR)?
A mid-term rental (MTR) is a fully furnished home rented for roughly 30 days to 6 months. That is longer than a typical Airbnb stay but shorter than a one-year lease. The home comes ready to live in: furniture, TVs, kitchenware, linens and household essentials, much like an Airbnb.
"Hybrid" means MTR is the main strategy. When there is a gap between mid-term guests, the home can also be offered as a short-term rental (STR) to keep it occupied and earning.
Why not just rent it long-term? You can. Most properties we offer for this program also work as a traditional long-term rental (LTR). The hybrid model aims for higher cashflow: in our analyses, net cash flow has ranged from about $500/month more than LTR on a marginal property up to 3–5 times LTR cash flow on a strong one, after mortgage and all program expenses.
Who rents these homes?
- Families displaced from their home by an insurance claim (fire, water damage)
- Corporate employees and relocating families
- Film and production crews
- Families living elsewhere while their own home is renovated
Where is the program offered? Currently, Atlanta metro is our main MTR/Hybrid market, run by our local team.
