Agreed with all the above interpretations. That's how I'm seeing it as well but you could always check with a local RE attorney to double check

Hi @Stacy McElroy as Bonnie mentioned Furnished Finder is still the leader in the space so definitely start your research there. I would also recommend checking out Airbnb/VRBO (for 30+ day stays) as well as Zillow. Those 4 tend to be the most popular sites for mid term rental listings. Reaching out directly to local hospitals in Wichita could be a good idea as well to get a sense of how many traveling nurses they typically have and where they find housing. Good luck!

I think it really comes down to what you are comfortable with but I don't think background check, credit card check, etc on top of a signed lease (and even small security deposit) is unreasonable for an MTR. Just make sure to include the details in the house rules, etc.

Hi @Jean-Marie Poth! I would recommend doing lots of research on the competition in your area and see how many 1 beds vs 2 beds are listed on FF or Airbnb/VRBO. With traveling nurses 1 beds can be more desirable if you offer for a lower price point.

I agree with @Katie Smith! I think lowering the price to get at least your first booking and a review would help a lot. With the lack of comps positive reviews will likely make a meaningful impact on the number of bookings/price you can get.

As Lindsey mentioned a lease is important and sometimes even a small security deposit. I would recommend casting a wider net and listing on Furnished Finder, Airbnb/VRBO, and Zillow. 

Good luck! Hope it goes well

As Allen said Furnished Finder and Airbnb/Zillow (30+ day stays) are great places to start. Zillow and Facebook groups as well as insurance placement companies can be lucrative as well

I think it's always important to check with the specific city or town that you are looking in as each can have different rules/regulations on LTR vs STR

Hi Amod, there is a great meetup group in Jersey City that links up occasionally you may want to check out. I'll find the details and send you a message!

@Emma RedfernCongrats on your first BRRR! When evaluating MTR markets I would always start by searching Furnished Finder and Airbnb/VRBO (30+ day stays) to get a good sense of what is out there on the market already. You can also check out Zillow and Facebook! Like others have said, I've heard Cincinnati can be a great market for travelling nurses due to the high concentration of hospitals
