My traveling nurse placement ran 87 days, turned in under 48 hours, and the next tenant was already confirmed before the first one checked out
That is the thing I kept reading was impossible to pull off consistently. My guy who runs the installment contracts had a cousin using a 3/1 in Kingsport, Tennessee this way, and I watched from the outside for about six months before I believed it was real. He had a standing relationship with one staffing agency, CHG Healthcare, and just kept that line warm. No platforms. The agency calls him when an assignment gets confirmed, he holds the unit for them at $1,850 a month furnished, and they fill the paperwork. Turn was a cleaner he paid $180 flat and a linen service out of Bristol that does a 24-hour turnaround. The math on 87-day cycles with 48-hour gaps is basically 96% occupancy over a calendar year, and the long-term comp on that street was $1,100 unfurnished. That $750 spread covered the cleaner, the linen swap, and his time with room left. The piece I took away is that the sourcing problem goes away the second you stop thinking platform and start thinking account. One agency relationship with a good track record on your end is worth more than four listing profiles.
