We travel for work and though it would be our “true” home, we wouldn’t be there often.

It just seems hard for these sites to get enough travelers using them, unless you have a property targeting a very niche tenant type that uses a specific website to find housing. 

I live outside of Winnipeg, but would be willing to travel for meetups.

(Yes I know there are other restrictions/conditions.)In the past, I have toyed with the idea of a vacation/rental property in Ocean City, MD, Rehoboth/Bethany/Dewy, DE, and/or the Deep Creek Lake, MD area (I like the idea of being within 3 hours of the rental property in case something goes horrible wrong and I need to travel to the property). 

Can you work remotely or your job requires intense travelling.

I've been traveling a bunch so it has been a little slow so far, but I expect it will be done and back on the market in the next 30 days or so. 

As someone that's traveled (13 year Army veteran), I saw the value and still think prices here are extremely reasonable for all the natural beauty and access to amenities.Interest rates have priced a lot of first time home buyers out of the markets.

Hoping I can get around $1200 renting to traveling nurses and professionals According to my research on FurnishedFinder, this is reasonable, and I'm planning to list June 1.
