MTR Research & Travel Nurses

[Tyler Warner]

Hey BP community!

I have been very fascinated with the MTR strategy and read most of the books out there regarding this topic. My wife, who is a nurse herself and I were talking about the demand of travel nurses and where they are headed within the country. Most experts recommend about 2-3 hospitals within a given city, obviously up for debate though. But my question is, Are there any tools out there tracking the demand of nurses in hospitals? Are other investors reaching out to agencies to see where the demand is? I'm trying to analyze properties in areas that are not in major cities, but still have a Level 1 Trauma Center in the city. Appreciate any input! Thanks!

Furnished Finder does publish dashboard stats on the number of inquiries they get in any given area and travel nurses are probably their single largest customer segment so you can find out about your area there. There are other furnished rental sites like apartments.com and zillow that also may have stats, though I don't use them so I can't say for sure where you would find that information. However, I wouldn't limit yourself to travel nurses or even to travel medical professionals especially in a very sought after area like Austin, TX. You're going to find you have strong demand from digital nomads, corporate travelers, relocations, insurance placements and many other customer segments.
