If you’ve hosted both, you already know: corporate clients and traveling nurses are very different beasts.
Here’s how I compare them after helping hosts nationwide:
🏢 Corporate Clients
✅ Longer stays (3–6 months)
✅ Reliable payments
🚫 Slower booking process, more paperwork
💉 Traveling Nurses
✅ Quick bookings, consistent demand
✅ Usually solo, less wear-and-tear
🚫 Stays often end early due to assignment changes
My take: build systems for both. Diversify your guest base just like you diversify income.
Who’s your favorite type of MTR tenant — and why?
Definitely corporate clients. Nurse budgets are often low. Usually around $1600 or less depending on the market.
But corporate clients have higher expectations.
That’s a great point — totally agree about nurse budgets being tighter, especially in certain markets. Corporate clients do tend to have bigger budgets but also expect a higher standard of service and amenities. Balancing both can really help smooth out occupancy across the year!
