Has anyone had a lot of success with medium term rentals for traveling workers (nurses, other health care professionals, etc.) and care to share any insights or advice?

My market criteria are first and foremost focused on the local economy and its growth and health, as well as the general business-friendliness of the state & city.With the current rout happening in tech, migration trends, and remote work taking over I wouldn't take it for granted that SF will always have a large base of high income professionals.

@Dominick Johnson It's crossed my mind numerous times I can get ____ done today, tomorrow, or in the future without going into work, but health care in this country is insane.

Unfortunately due to her declining health and ability to get around she left things in a bit of disrepair flooring was especially bad carpets ruined etc.

The health department made the owner put in such a big system for the storage building even though there is no plumbing in the building.

And the risk of getting my loan repaid is the financial health of the building; versus say if I loaned my friend $50k with 6% interest, the risk would be the person?

@Brandon Schaffner I think what you will find in the KC market is a diversified set of properties, strong employment that is also very diversified (tech, engineering, health care, ag, animal health), great down town, progressive on both side of the state line, and great school (from grade school to college).

I had a tenant with several evictions, fake pay stubs, et cetera make it through the zillow application with a clean bill of health.

Your policy can require, for example, that you are provided a current Veterinarian's report on the health of the animal; a letter or form from a "reliable" source such as a local medical or social professional verifying that the tenant has a "qualified" disability, and that the animal performs a specific task, or alleviates a symptom related to that qualified disability; tenant must clean up after the animal in common areas; no offensive odors can emanate from tenants residence; and both the vet report and verification of tenant's need must be updated annually. 

Many space related jobs will live in Nona and commute, not to mention all of the tech and health care, so it will continue to be attractive and appreciate very well.
