Think about the clients (nurses) and there expectations.

My plan is to rent one side as LTR and the other as a furnished MTR for traveling nurses.

I did travel nursing at many of the Oregon hospitals.

You'll always be competing with every retired nurse and stay-at-home mom and every other guy with 40 hours to take the class.

@Keith A.I’m a registered nurse and I work ‘per Diem.’

I'd also focus on markets where people really want to be, and are relocating to, as I don't think the traveling nurse population is nearly as large as advertised, nor stable and reliable. 

The population has been growing here year over year over the last decade, it is home to The Ohio State University which has over 50,000 students that live here along with those that visit, and it also holds a diverse range of young professionals and traveling nurses to fill the demand of the multiple business corporations and hospitals stationed here.

I was a travel nurse for 5 years.

My wife/business partner is kind of the MTR expert between us, and she's always saying, you don't care who your tenant is -- traveling nurse, displaced homeowner due to remodeling or home damage, remote worker, transplant wanting to figure out the city, etc. -- you care that you get a good tenant; that's all.

.- Also, a solo practitioner who does both taxes and bookkeeping has no way to balance their load throughout the year.
