Medium Term Rentals- better by the room for travel nurses?

[Richard Evanns]

Hi all,

Curious peoples thoughts. I have a 3/1 near USC Keck medical center. Ive had some trouble getting medium term tenants of late, and was wondering what people who cater to travel nurses specifically, think about the idea of:

What if I just did this particular mid term by the room, instead of the whole house? If a travel nurse is going somewhere by him/herself, then a 3/1 is a little bit much. I have had a couple nurse bookings but never really effectively capitalized on the travel nurse thing. Im wondering if anyone has had success chopping a bigger MTR up into rentals by the room for this type of renter?

(The fact that the property has 1 bathroom kind of makes this not as great too I feel like) 

Wondering if anyone has experience doing MTR's by the room instead of by the whole house, and if that works for anyone?

I house hack and rent a room to a travel medical professional however the most common question I get is if the room comes with its own private bathroom. Travel medical professionals might not be the best target for this strategy but rent by the room to students in town for internships or even digital nomads could work instead. Because of the size of the property I would also look at listing on ALE Solutions to be on the directory to house displaced families in your area.
