University towns - Cities with large and diverse student populations offer landlords a stable, predictable tenant pool throughout the academic year.4.

While you may be able to rent your property as an MTR if you're near a hospital that uses travel personnel, there may be all sorts of travelers looking to book a furnished rental in your area: digital nomads, construction workers, corporate travelers, relocations, insurance placements, academics...the list goes on.

The US began under building housing of all types around 2000 creating the housing supply shortage. sorry dont buy that one.. there was a HUGE glut of unsold new construction that took years to clear off the books from the GFCyou have access to the economic research. not as if you need a special account to search academic research as was the case in the 2000s in addition to the BLS, the Fed, etc. the US began under building around 2000 compared to population growth. the glut was the result of the decrease in demand from the great recession collapse. builders were on a tear based on current demand and cheap capital not basing building on long term demand for housing. how many builders failed over extended?

It has been super difficult finding an insurance company that will cover us because we rent both on the STR market and the academic market.

I'm also interested in buy and hold on farmland.I have an academic background in GIS (custom mapping and data visualization), and I do some of that freelance, including setting up a pretty impressive crime watch program with a HOA in the area.  

@Lynn Currie My idea was to specifically target travel nurses and academics.

We've gotten a lot of people traveling for college visits and academic events (conferences, etc.).We have had really good experience with working with Airbnb so far. 

Real world is definitely different from academic, in every industry, but I'm surprised at times at the stuff I recall and say to myself "oh yeah, they did cover that, and that, and that", it just wasn't relevant to me at the time because I had no real world context. 

I liken it to going to school and learning...only 1/10 th of what is learned in academic institutions is used in the real world.

I'm sure it's something like 21 to 35, then moving up to the mid 40s, and a smaller group 45 to 60, very few are 60+.I've noticed a huge education gap, I'd guess we have members who had difficulty with high school and we have PHD's, MDs, JDs, engineers and others with considerable academic achievements.
