MTR is NOT only travel nurses!

Just wanted to put this out there for those who are interested in MTR or do MTR but haven't really explored the possible tenants. I personally am a travel nurse, but I have rented my home MTR to 5 different renters since last November and only 2 of them have been travel nurses. My home is within 5 miles of 4-5 MAJOR hospitals in Denver. I think its important to not forget that the market is not only travel nurses but any traveling employees, people building or buying a home, WFH who want to explore a city, people unsure where to rent, etc. I have had a mix of everything and one thing I have learned in my quick year is that marketing specifically to travel nurses limits my potential market. If I had to pick near a hospital or close to a major business hub/city, I would probably pick the business hub/city. I have had a few nurses tell me they want to be closer to downtown Denver and want to commute to work, so they didn't rent my place. When I travel, I try and be close to the hospital, but i am choosing a "good living location" over a close hospital every time. Also, get top notch wifi, WFH is real and both of my nurse renters had significant others who worked from home and needed a designated work space and fast WIFI. I am a huge MTR fan and I am biased as a nurse, but don't get blinded by "travel nurses" when there are so many other renters out there!
