Different MTR Guest Pools

[Callaway Pate]

Hey BP family!

I am curious about different medium-term renter pools in the DC-Metro area. It's common that people bring up travel nurses and insurance placements, but in the DMV are there any other occupations or scenarios that could an MTR could curate towards. For example, has anyone had government contractors or military personnel in their MTR spaces? Due to DC being a city with a large federal government presence I wanted to know if that presents opportunity in the area. I appreciate any insight on the topic!

I can share some insight from the military side, as I have stayed in MTR (through AirBnB) for periods of TDY (Temporary Duty, assignments less than 6 months.). Usually training or some sort of School. I always look for a MTR vs hotel, especially if I want to bring my family. The TDY Rates in the DC Metro area vary https://www.gsa.gov/travel/pla... looks like they range from 172 a day to 258. Military and other government renters will often use that rate as a pretty hard cap (Averaged out over the trip), as going over that daily rate cap makes filing a reimbursement claim a huge hassle. I am not sure if those rates make sense in that market or not.
