Is there anyone renting mid-term to travel nurses in Canada? 

I know this is a big thing in the US and easy to facilitate via Furnished Finder, but in Canada there isn’t readily available data so I can get a sense of the demand for furnished rentals for travelling professionals.

In terms of listing there is only airbnb and travelnurse.ca which just has a form where you can submit your property but not view other listings or demand.

Any fellow Canadian investors have any insight on this?

Thank you!

    Have you looked at other types of furnished corporate rentals? There may be more of a market for that in Canada than traveling nurse rentals (as compared to the US). Our healthcare systems are so different I would not be surprised if we just had far more traveling nurses down here as a Total Addressable Market.

    Not my asset class, just trying to help think out of the box a bit :)

    if not nurses then potentially persons who want to be near those being hospitalized. Vicinity or bus to the University/Children's hospital. Maybe up 16 and split between SAIT and the hospitals.

    If you are looking at a midterm rental and not specifically just travel nurses you can reach out to insurance companies as well. I listened to an episode of the short term show with @Avery Carl and she had a guest that rented mid term to people that were misplaced from their houses while insurance claims were being filed on their homes. It was really interesting and I had no idea something like that existed!

     Yeah I will definitely be contacting insurance companies too. I heard it from a podcast as well. Great tip!

     Let me know how that turns out for you!!! I am currently not in a place where that is an option for me because we rent a room out in our primary, but I would love to hear how that goes for you.
