Renting to Traveling Nurses

Anyone in the Tulare/Visalia area familiar with renting to traveling nurses or the sites to list for this? I just purchased a property near Tulare Adventist Hospital and think this property would do great for this.

We have a few Traveling RN's in the family,

Most hospital units have break rooms with bulletin boards, and you'd be surprised how many rental opportunities are posted there. Travel nurses tend to build strong networks as they move from assignment to assignment, so word-of-mouth referrals through those connections can be very effective.

The challenge is getting your listing on those bulletin boards. You may have to get a little creative—dropping off cookies or other treats for the unit staff can be a good way to introduce yourself and ask if you can post your rental. Unless your really good looking avoid the parking lot stalking of RN's LOL.

I would focus on Med-Surg, PACU, and ER units. I would generally avoid ICU, Labor & Delivery, and Trauma units unless you're specifically looking to attract longer-term renters, as those specialties often hospital employees or have travelers who stay on long term contract assignments.

As a furnished rental, you shouldn't limit yourself to just travelling nurses. But since you are so close to the hospital, it doesn't hurt to reach out to team that coordinates housing for travel nurses so you can get direct access to those leads! Vacancy is the biggest killer of MTR so you need to finetune your systems to ensure you stay fully booked. The extra cashflow is worth the extra work in my opinion!

Furnish finders and Zillow... Those are the best for travel nurses and MTR.

Also look into insurance / temporary housing. Rent your place at a premium and partner with an insurance preferred vendor. 40-60% higher than retail rents

Furnished Finders is great as everyone else is saying. However, I have seen lots of success in reasearching travel contractor agencies in the area and signing directly with the companies for long-term professional leases. Some agencies will rotate their hired staff through for many years as sub-leases and pay the rent for them. You will have to do a lot of research and calling to find this option. Another great option is finding a company that does long-term care facilities out of homes and will bring in all sorts of patients while also taking good care of the home. Different option, but they accept higher rents and usually will stay 5-10 years with no issues.
