Agents, other wholesalers, and contractors who trusted me because I kept showing up and I consistently did what I said I was going to do.

If a tenant will communicate with me, then I'm always willing to work with them (especially a tenant who has been reliable and consistently paid rent).

Consistent communication, transparency, and following through on what you say build trust faster than any spreadsheet ever could.

Quote from @Nick Copland: 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 changesMy take: build systems for both.

So it’s important to make sure your screening process is compliant with fair housing laws and is based on objective criteria like income (including voucher amount), rental history, credit, and references.There are pros and cons to working with voucher tenants:Pros:A portion of the rent is guaranteed by the housing authority, which can help with consistent cash flow.Many tenants stay long-term, which can reduce turnover.Considerations:The unit will need to pass an inspection, and you may need to wait for approval before move-in.Rent increases, lease changes, and eviction processes often involve additional steps and coordination with the housing agency.As others have mentioned, having a consistent screening process is key.
