For all the furnishing you'll do, might as well do both options since STR can yield more profit and you're not facing regulation if it is your primary.Back to your question, I honestly don't know much about travel nurse situation in CO vs other locations but what I've seen in the "leads" in Furnished Finder (my property is also 10-15 min drive from multiple hospitals) it is a mix of traveling healthcare workers, digital nomads, relocation, etc.

There is a good chance I will relocate to the area, so just planning ahead :) You're website looks nice and I like your philosophy.

If you relocate to a new area, greater than 100 miles from where the original FHA mortgaged property is located, you CAN qualify for a second FHA loan! 

You might be successful marketing to insurance placements and temporary relocations.

That said, if you were targeting a different clientele, say insurance placements or relocations or if you were able to appeal to corporate travelers you may get the numbers you're looking for.
