Diverse industries, academia, healthcare.. auto production and housing got hit hard in 2007 leading to phenom deals for investors with enough cash to complete rehabs and hold long term.

I've worked in many sectors of manufacturing for a number of years, then transitioned to healthcare.  

Our inventory is primarily geared to off-campus housing for students (secured by parents) sprinkled with VA  and Traveling Health Care Housing.

Ask them how they feel about free college tuition and health care.  

The last one is a nurse so I am assuming she will probably be sick at some point, and since I consider her and all the rest of the health care workers heros I will do anything I can to help out there. 

I work in healthcare (software) so I hope to be able to work remote for majority of the week in the future.Renton and Tacoma would've been a really great fit for us if we could make the commute work.

They then have health care, food, clothing, place to live, possible significant other, car, family, and on and on.

We just launched a portfolio loan for medical and healthcare professionals.

I don't personally have any experience with mid-term rentals, but with healthcare being such a large industry here, I imagine you would have success with travel nurses. 

There are always plenty of people looking for one year leases and also you can market to some of the health care professionals supplying the large network of hospitals in Baltimore.
