Renting to travel nurses isn’t a new strategy but I’m curious what everyone’s experience has been doing this strategy.

I am a travel nurse practitioner so I was considering taking an assignment in Dallas in January to go ahead and generate income there.

I don't know what state you are in but you can likely register it yourself for cheap at the treasury of state website.

That could be an up and coming community for those that travel into Indy or up to Lafayette. 

I think it interesting the lenders (mostly F/F) mandate insurance, but not earthquake insurance even when you are close to significant earthquake faults.It is my personal view that if a big enough earthquake hits that it causes significant damage to many homes that it would be declared a disaster and cheap loans and options are likely to be available.It really is a calculated gamble.I have a fairly large umbrella policy.  

Right now its via Travelers, but your broker should be able to shop it for you. 

Hard money on rental SFR 8.75 is cheap.

It's better to have it "done right" rather than trying to cheap out.You know Bigger Pockets also has a benefit to us pro members in the form of a contracts section if you're feeling brave :)Keep us posted please.

I have been looking at markets in Pittsburgh PA and Birmingham AL because it looks like you can get a home relatively cheap and they don’t look horrible.

No - Chesky is wishful thinking. a) Most people are not nomadic in nature b) It takes a lot of money to travel and stay at Vacation Rentals (the cost of the rental, food, auto and gas, etc.)For most people, STR trips will continue to be a nice little getaway alternative to traditional hotels....although I believe their usage will grow a good bit anyway.
