So my question -- is there a platform that targets this segment of "midterm" tenants? 

I'd expand the segment in MTR to market beyond traveling nurses (shrinking in number and pay I hear, but not sure) to ALSO include: digital nomads, relocatees to new areas, and snowbirds.

With Adwords, it's a little harder to target certain segments like Facebook but you can still target people who are located in a certain area and have marked general interests or are watching other youtube videos related to real estate, homes for sale, etc...Here is an example of the video I have being marketed for the same property as the above Facebook page:https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Here's just a few website you can use to segment your market: www.city-data.com, www.neighborhoodscout.com and www.crimereports.com to segment your market.

But, yes, the short answer is there is money to be made in land and timber just as there is with any other type of segment in real estate...... part time or full time.

You can just make your unit more business friendly to capture that market segment.

REIs and average Home-buyers are two completely different segments of the market, and so are their wants/needs/fears/mindsets.

In highly competitive area, absentee owners are being hit every which way.It may be well worth the time to break down owners from a pain point timeline perspective and segment niches by the scenarios which develop and cause triggers that result in selling.

I'd expand the segment in MTR to market beyond traveling nurses (shrinking in number and pay I hear, but not sure) to ALSO include: digital nomads, relocatees to new areas, and snowbirds. 

You would be able to either pay down a lot (less interest so more cash flow) or buy in a higher segment (potentially more cash flow)
