Rental Beside Hospital Creative Rental Situations

[Mark Watkins]

I wanted to see if anybody had ever developed a relationship with or had a contract with a hospital to provide short-term housing for doctors or other staff. I have a SFH rental coming online in April that is right beside of a teaching hospital. I have talked to several doctors who have traveled to this hospital from nearby cities for rotations and complain about having to travel back-and-forth every day. Even though it's an hour commute round trip, after a full day they just want to crash. Plan A is to just rent this house as a residence with a 12 month lease as I usually would. However, I like to be creative I had the idea of approaching the hospital to see if there was a need to provide such housing to doctors or other staff. Has anyone done this? What advice or warnings would you give? Any thoughts or feedback are welcome.
