We'd never had much luck contacting any department at the hospitals themselves. However, I was lucky enough to be put in contact with our area hospital's HR Recruiter who has had a few of their corporate employees stay at our properties. I've been managing 70+ midterm rentals for over 3 years and we have never housed a traveling nurse - in our area, their stipends (or what they are willing to pay) are much lower than we can get in rents with other prospective guests/tenants.

Utilities are included at all of our properties and that is common practice here.

Hi Scott,

It sounds like you're in a great location for mid-term rentals! To determine if there’s a market at the hospital, I'd recommend reaching out to the hospital's housing coordinator or human resources department, as they often handle temporary housing for traveling medical staff or out-of-town employees. Another option would be to connect with the hospital's administrative offices, as they may have partnerships with local landlords for these types of accommodations.

Regarding utilities, in mid-term rental situations, it varies. Some landlords include utilities in the rent, while others may pass them on to tenants. Given the short-term nature of mid-term rentals, including utilities can make your property more attractive to potential tenants, but it’s essential to factor that into your overall rent pricing.

The best way to go about this is to ensure your listing is visible to your target audience. Websites like Furnished Finder and even hospital or university housing boards could be good starting points to market your property. Additionally, it’s a good idea to network with local real estate agents who specialize in short-term or mid-term rental markets.

Good luck with your new venture!

Try Traveling Nurses, Traveling doctors or and traveling medical profession website and they actually allow you to post your property. The Hospital usually pays for the rent for these traveling professionals.
