Hi Padam,

I have been renting to traveling nurses in San Antonio and have found them to be very good guests. They have specific needs such as washer/dryer in unit and are concerned about a safe area as most are women traveling alone in a new area. It's a changing market, as they are not getting as much money for housing as they had been. The hospitals can be a bit cut-throat with them as well, cancelling their contract. This is why many will want to rent for one month and extend when they know the second and third month are secure. I have had a hospital cancel their contract just before they are traveling down. I quickly found another guest and was as kind as possible in a refund to them. 

Furnishedfinders.com is a good site if you haven't found them yet.
