I know that I can write my travel, supplies, and food expenses off of my taxes while on that trip.

OP Lincoln is a great town since it is the state capitol, lots of government income, home of UNL, lots of medical etc.  

You are one car breakdown or medical bill away from paying rent since you don't have an emergency savings.  

The trick is asking them what happened, usually it is for medical which I get. 

Beside budget ,do you have the time, energy, flexibility to travel to view properties, or manage a team in a different time zone.  

If you want to market traveling nurses, perhaps closer to town or inside Tucson is where you want to be with your STR.

I have a duplex near Centennial Park that I am currently rehabbing and plan to MTR to travel nurses (close to major hospitals).

So, after they visit the property, they literally don't have to travel again unless they absolutely want to.

My main concern on the outer islands is medical and infrastructure.

Whether the property manager charges to file the eviction (we do not) is a separate issue- a professional management company should file the eviction for you.Regarding the arrears rent, again, a professional manager should be letting you know that the renter has fallen behind and why (did they have a medical emergency?
