We have listed this house on Furnish Finder, a listing service for traveling medical professionals, and are currently renting the unit out for $850 per month (1.2% RTV) to very responsible tenants.

I'm looking at renting rooms to traveling nurses or other professionals. 

I'd invest some time in actually traveling to the state and meeting the team as well.

Travelers has one but its generally rigid and overpriced as they will try to put you in a box you may not fit in. 

Purchase price: $52,000 Cash invested: $100,000 Commercial office space located on highly traveled street.

Keep good records of your travel including date, miles driven, start and stop point and purpose of trip.

I work for a big travel tech company which sells online accommodation for business and leisure stays, but I would like to eventually (sooner rather than later) transition to REI full time.

They want to travel, they want experiences, they don't think about signing up for one job that they'll stick with for the next 30 years in the same area like previous generations.

Yet millions still haven’t been able to go back to their old jobs and some have few prospects of ever doing so, especially in industries such as travel and tourism.

If they say yes, I ask them if they travel to the company they invest in and walk around and get to know the management and talk with employees.
