Curious if people know what the demand is like for short-term housing for this demographic or others like it in Western Massachusetts. We are considering a large-ish boarding house property that I can't imagine would do well unless demand is strong. Please let me know what you think!

Hi @Asher, I will suggest to check out data from the furnished finder and search data directly for traveling nurses rental units and demand in Pittsfield MA. There is small demand for mid-term rental, but probably not as strong as bigger cities. STR/Airbnb has higher demand IMO. MTR seems a bit slower now compares to previous years during Covid peak. Berkshire Medical Center brought in more medical professionals back then. Beside traveling nurses, the summer peak season will also bring in some retirees and interns which will rent from 1 to 4 months. Winter is definitely slower for MTR in Pittsfield. Hope this helps.

If you're looking to do a boarding house, go on a local FB group for apartments for rent or subletting. See what the going rate is and the demand for properties.
