[Jessica Kirkpatrick]

Looking for ideas to market furnished longer short-term rentals? Want to target families in town for medical reasons, executives, in transiton homebuyers, etc. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Have a great tuesday!

I would recommend looking into FurnishedFinder.com & Gypsy Travel Nurse Facebook Group.  Travel nurses will typically receive an assignment for 13 weeks in a city, and will have a stipend for their lodging while there.  They are mostly single female, maybe with a pet, and will want a safe location and probably nothing too big to have to maintain.  You probably won't get the profit margin you'd expect with shorter term stays (airbnb, vrbo, etc.), but in return you get the safety of 3 months of not having to manage it :)
