So, why isn't this different?I

Hey There @Hai LocI'll preface my comments by saying that everyone's situation is different. I

Account Closed Agree on all counts with you re: Urbana Champaign being culturally different. I

@Nathan G. different reason for renting to travel nurses not necessarily being a home run- there is a severe rental housing shortage in Central Vermont, long term rents have gone way up, and the differential in what you were charging to a year long tenant and a travel nurse has become much smaller, if you factor in paying for their utilities.

I am sure there will be some work in the legal community to standardize some of these strategies now that there is an 18% differential between the two taxes.

They are sometimes hard to differentiate.

Sounds simple enough, but as far as approaching the deal, is there anything different? I

I do things a bit different .  I

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – and they often select the first PMC they call!

It seems like offering this could be a good way to differentiate yourself, and command a higher rent - but the costs may outweigh this.One other concern I have is that, if I needed to use a property manager if I'm not in the area to self-manage, the management fees needed to get the place rented twice a year would really stack up.Appreciate any opinions/experiences people have with this kind of strategy.Thanks,Mike
