I've also seen lots of travel nurse interest in the Springfield area, and some of the nurses I've hosted on the MTR side end up selecting next locations out that direction.

It is the delay in getting financing in a timely manner so that I may begin my rehab on my fix and flip that is making me feel not very confident in their ability to deliver.

They have made it clear to me that they refer to me because they are comfortable/confident that I will take good care of the client which reflects better back on them, keeping their reputation strong and earning them real estate referrals from the client if they end up happy with the whole experience (which is much more valuable to them than a few hundred bucks from me). 

I think if you have confidence in a property manager in your area it can be a good decision.

Her opinion is:"The travel nursing market has taken a steep downturn in demand and rates since the beginning of this year.

We're looking to do that right now, and a big part of the allure is to save money on airbnbs when we travel ourselves, but also break even on our loan.

I'm hoping the predictions for a decrease in domestic travel are not across the board for every market. 

My CPA had no clue what I was talking about when I tried to explain the stategy to him, which does not instill confidence.

With having young kids and working full time, being able to buy a house that needs mostly cosmetic updates that I can do myself would be easier than buying a property I would have to travel to without the family to work on. 

We also love meeting travelers and sharing unique experiences with them.
