Short Term Rentals to Traveling Nurses
Hey guys,
Looking for advise. I recently turned one of my SFH into a house for transient workers (traveling nurses, ect). I've found great demand for the product, but everyone backs out when I ask them to do the following.
Fill out an applicant
Go through the background/credit check
Pay a security deposit or move in fee
Am I going about this wrong? I've had 4 qualified candidates back out because of these things. I don't feel comfortable letting them in without knowing anything about them, or getting any kind of security deposit.
Does anyone else do this strategy? What have you found works/doesnt work?

@Michael Ablan I also rent to traveling nurses and many have stated (on the traveling nurses fb pages) that when asked to do screening etc they just don’t rent from that person. The agencies do screenings that they work for. I’d just ask to get a referral from their recruiter instead or There’s a lot of business that you’ll be missing out on.
