What Are Insurance Midterm Rentals (iMTR)?
Jaclyn defines iMTRs, how insurance relocates families, and the midterm rental window they fill.
Insurance midterm rentals (iMTR) are one of the most profitable and purpose-driven niches in real estate investing. In this episode of Landlord Diaries, we sit down with Jason and Jaclyn McClure, co-founders of Vetted Homes, to uncover how they've built a thriving business around housing displaced families through insurance-paid monthly rentals.
You’ll learn why iMTR falls within Furnished Finder’s fastest-growing tenant type (185% YoY growth), how to analyze a potential iMTR property, how to price correctly, work with insurance companies, and the truth about tenant screening.
