Tampa based property manager here. To say the past few months since the storms hit have been challenging would be an understatement. But something happened to my business in November that may be a larger issue for man...

Most of my travel nurse / medical professional bookings have come from Furnished Finder but the other sites usually appeal to other tenant types like digital nomads, relocating families, etc.  

The bigger companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc, use RMC's to handle their relocations and they are very very difficult to pierce.

If they're like the other relocation companies, you can ask to background check the tenants.

Now it going above pre-pandemic was because like Miami, Nashville, and Boise, Austin was a super-fast grower and had massive companies relocate there during that period therefore homebuilders jumped on it.

As other markets out/in Florida are increasing in price , people are looking to relocate to sw market. 

My channel is a lead-funnel for relocation clients, usually executives. 

My main concern about actual house hacking for a few years in a row is that we don't want the kiddos to have to change schools once we relocate up there.I'm thinking about getting an appreciation-oriented duplex/triplex in a pricier market with good schools that we could stay in for several years, and saving for an actual cashflow property that'd we buy as an investment property instead of a house hack.

This forces people to relocate.

Insurance companies don't relocate the clients.
