We plan to 100% travel to the area that we are going to be purchasing before making a purchase to meet people, network, and hopefully build a solid team. 

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: Not sure as a traveler I would stay in one or not, but I am sure there is a market for it. 

This is like asking in an air travel forum, how do you fly a plane?

I know that I can write my travel, supplies, and food expenses off of my taxes while on that trip.

There are handful of crowdfunding lending companies emerged lately.They all seem to share a need to be an accredited investor to start investing.In order for an individual to qualify as an accredited investor, he or she must accomplish at least one of the following:1) earn an individual income of more than $200,000 per year, or a joint income of $300,000, in each of the last two years and expect to reasonably maintain the same level of income.2) have a net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or jointly with his or her spouse.3) be a general partner, executive officer, director or a related combination thereof for the issuer of a security being offered.How strict is the accreditation requirement is being followed?

Beside budget ,do you have the time, energy, flexibility to travel to view properties, or manage a team in a different time zone.  

I have a duplex near Centennial Park that I am currently rehabbing and plan to MTR to travel nurses (close to major hospitals).

So, after they visit the property, they literally don't have to travel again unless they absolutely want to.

The irony is most investors who form LLC's do not operate them correctly, fail to obtain appropriate types or amounts of insurance coverage, fail to understand their coverage exclusions, take short cuts and don't obtain permits, use unlicensed and uninsured vendors,  fail to execute contracts with same vendors, don't understand the mechanism of additional insured status, indemnification etc. and are actually more prone to claims and conflict with their LLC than the individual who does not own real estate in an LLC but understands these tools I mentioned.

If you want to market traveling nurses, perhaps closer to town or inside Tucson is where you want to be with your STR.
