Experience w/ Furnished Finder for Traveling Nurses in Baltimore?

Real Estate Investor · Washington, DC · Member since 2017 · 26 posts · 1 vote

Hey everyone,

I have a 2 BD/3 BA property located in the Ellwood Park neighborhood in Baltimore City and have furnished it for short-/medium-term rental for traveling nurses through the housing website Furnished Finder.

I was curious if anyone has had any experience (positive or negative) with this service and could offer some insights on how to use it more effectively.

Let me know when you get a chance.

Thanks!

I do travelling nurses, although I don't  use furnished finder since I have been doing it such a long time, they just call me.

It is mostly positive, high turnover, nurses are quiet, clean, usually have a pet, pay on time, have min problems. etc...

But it is constant tenant search, if you dont mind that, go for it

    Hi @David Johnson, I just checked out the website.  Sounds interesting.  What is the guarantee you will get paid?

    @Ozzy Sirimsi what service did you initially start using.  Do you have a standard lease?  How do they pay?

    @Shadonna N.

    It was one of the facebook pages.

    I use standard lease, but rent as everything included.

    They usually pay using one of the payment apps like cash app, paypal, zelle, or venmo

    @David Johnson - Have you had success getting leads from Furnished Finder in the last couple of months since you posted this?  I'm hesitant to start with them and pay their fees because I don't know the success rate.  I have a 2/1 small house in an area that has had 90% occupancy with Airbnb through the Spring and Summer, but it's slowing down lately.  What has your experience been?  Do you rent out 1 bedroom or the whole house?

    @Ozzy Sirimsi - Do you rent out 1 bedroom or the whole house to your traveling nurses?

    Thanks!
