SUCCESS STORIES
Want to hear about real results?
Here are just a few case studies from students Nick has personally coached to inspire your journey.
“Coach Nick has taken me from having no idea about how midterms work, to now running a portfolio of houses! It is just amazing what he has been able to teach us...Our guests are always extending and they are always so thankful. The stress of having a guest is no longer there (compared to the short term model).”
Jon
Software Engineer, Texas
“I was teaching and I was debating on whether I was going to start another school year. I decided to throw myself into what I learned in the MTR Formula. Having a coach...gave me direction, it gave me a step-by-step process and it helped me scale quickly. It just helped so much! ”
Cathy
School Teacher, Illinois
"$7,200 on average a month for a 5-month stay, I know that sounds crazy but on a gross basis, I had two months that were about $8,500, there two around $7,500 then $6,500....bottom line the rent that I pay to arbitrage is $2,400!...Net is around $4k for this single property!"
Diann
IT, Georgia
“I was thinking about other opportunities to get into rental real estate and I learned about the midterm rental model...'You don't know what you don't know' and after working with [Coach Nick] I realized, I didn't know I didn't know a lot until Nick was my Coach and having his years of expertise really helped me avoid a lot of the pitfalls I could have run into while running the business."
Woody
Physician's Assistant, Connecticut
“I live in California where it is more expensive to buy property... I had so many questions about the MTR model and I decided to bite the bullet and jump into getting coaching where someone could guide me along the way... I got my first booking within hours of listing my property and this guest stayed for 4 months!"
Wendy
Associate Director of Marketing, Southern California
"We took a leap of faith a year and a half ago working in corporate America - full-time jobs, super stressed...trying to manage kids, sports...we knew we needed something...that could give us more leisure, more time so that we can spend it with our family but yet be able to generate money. We are grateful we ran across you [Coach Nick]...and teach us from the base how to run a business like this. We now have 8 properties!"

MEET YOUR COACHES
Hi, we’re Nick and Shannan!
Nick leads most of the coaching, helping students build profitable mid-term rental businesses through the Smart Lease Method™ while maximizing time freedom. Over the past three years, he’s coached 500+ individuals, showing them exactly what works (and what doesn’t) in this space.
Shannan is the creative and strategic force behind the program—developing curriculum, managing course design, and ensuring every resource and system is structured for success.
Together, we created MTR Authority and the Smart Lease Method™, a proven professional system that helps smart investors earn income and build freedom without needing to own dozens of properties,
just like us!
OUR STORY
We didn’t come from money or real estate backgrounds — just a desire for more freedom and time with our family. After getting our start hosting unique rentals in California, a move to the Pacific Northwest led us to accidentally discover the midterm rental niche when travel nurses began booking our house-hack unit for months at a time. The cash flow and stability far outperformed anything we’d seen with short-term rentals.
So we doubled down — buying and smart leasing more and more, adding midterm units with every move. We didn’t use partners or fancy financing — just discipline, hustle, and reinvesting everything back into the business. Before long, those midterm rentals replaced our W-2 income and gave us back something even more valuable than cash flow: our time.
Today, we run MTR Authority to help others build businesses that create freedom — the kind where you can choose how you spend your days, be present with your family, and build real, lasting wealth through a simple and proven strategy.

FAQ
Got Questions?
We're Here to Help.
Our Smart Lease Method™ allows you to lease properties from owners and professionally offer them as midterm rentals to corporate clients, traveling medical professionals, and relocating families. You’re not buying the property — you’re operating it as a high-quality furnished rental — which significantly reduces upfront costs and allows you to scale quickly and sustainably.
Many of our students secure their first property within 30–60 days of starting the program. With the right effort and implementation, you can begin generating income shortly after securing your first property.
Our program specializes in the arbitrage model for midterm rentals, which allows for faster scalability with less upfront investment. We combine expert guidance, hands-on support, a like-minded community, and a proven system to help you build a profitable business, even if you’re starting from scratch.
Earnings vary depending on the property and market, but many of our students achieve a monthly net profit of $1,000–$2,500 per property. As you scale, your earnings grow exponentially with each additional property. Essentially it is up to you and what works for your situation, how much you want to scale and grow. The opportunity is right there waiting for you.
Of course you can! If you don’t mind the bigger price tag and painful headache, have at it! However, the weight of going it alone is a lot heavier and challenging than what most people want to commit to. You might have to quit your full-time job for that. Our course does the heavy lifting for you so you can achieve your goals faster and with greater success. Why miss out on that opportunity?
While midterm housing is a relatively new concept, we stand out because of our depth of experience and proven track record. We entered the industry, switching from short-term to midterm in 2020, right as demand began to surge, and have been in the trenches ever since. Nick began coaching in 2022 and has helped over 500 midterm housing businesses, while Shannan has supported countless clients with industry targeted brand awareness and design. Together, we bring years of combined expertise from both the short-term and midterm housing industries.
What sets us apart is the MTR Formula—our comprehensive course that guides you from ground zero to success, offering tools, resources, intentional coaching, and a strong community to help you scale. Our credibility and hands-on experience are key to ensuring your success.
Ultimately, it’s about finding the coach and resources that align with your style and goals. We believe our track record and all-encompassing approach will help you exceed them.
