I've heard of nurses addicted to substances but have never met one (that I am aware of).Nurses are people like everyone else--some are good and some are bad.To address the main question, I'd venture to say that it's primarily dependent on the location and whether the area demands a lot of travel nurses or not.I am currently on assignment in Medford, OR and the hospital I worked for was heavily staffed by travel nurses, and temporary housing is scarce (housing in general is scarce) so accommodations are expensive--i was paying 1700/month for a 1bdr cottage, now paying 1200/month for a studio.That said, travel nurse pay rates are dropping all over, and if they continue to drop them there will be a decrease in demand for travel nurse housing.

The standard contract, and all others I have read, do Not make the contract binding on heirs...unless that is in your contract, you’re SOL.On the other hand.....some of my best deals have been when dealing with sellers that had some kind of substance abuse addiction issue...they get motivated for the quick buck.  

I too know people with substance abuse problems.

Curt,I appreciate your response and the substance of your replies regarding how challenging REI is and I also agree that the "gurus" make it sound much, much easier than it really is.

I realize this is a very general question, lacking substance.

It's a balance of "form" over "substance."

I tell them that every house and neighborhood is different and it would not be fair to either of us if I make up a number that has no real substance.

Substance over form...

There are a lot out there that offer a lot of stuffing with little substance at best.
