Housing yourself.......

[Cpf9]

Im about to take on an assignment very soon as a Travel Nurse and I have done a little research and spoke to a few other travelers and Im still at a little of a loss. Im a young woman who enjoys her freedom and space I dont consider renting a room in some one's house an option. Could someone give me a few cost effective ways to support myself in Housing?

My next assignment will be in the LA area in mid-January and I've already found housing on Craigslist. One bedroom fully furnished apartment in Tuluca Lake 20 minutes from the hospital. All inclusive for 1500/month, including a garage. Landlord only prefer to rent to travelers for short term. I also found a few more options that were a little more expensive, but in great locations.

I just did a 13 week assignment in Fresno CA at Community Regional. Don't know if that's where you will be or not. I rented a two bedroom furnished condo in the Riverpark Area. Found it on Craigslist. Paid 1300/month all inclusive. Was in a great gated community and 15 minutes from the hospital.

I still have the contact information for the landlord. However, I think it may be rented already started in January through April, but you can PM me for more info and I will check with her to see if the other travel nurse fell through.

I PM'd you.

Sometimes you can post in craigslist for landlords to come to you. I usually put that I am a travel nurse (everyone loves us by the way) and what I need w/d, no pets etc. I get tons of replies that way as well.

You can try Airbnb.com I used that for a trip to New York and the place was gorgeous. It was for fun not work but great options!
