Buying a Home As a Travel Nurse: Everything You Need to Know About Purchasing & Qualifying

For some people I think it depends on your realtor and mortgage company . I’ve been travel nursing for 2 years and just bought a home (existing home) in Atlanta,Ga. They actually only needed my offer letter for my current contract and a few W2s. Congrats on your new home too !!! This makes travel nursing sooo worth it !

Excellent video. I love real estate and I'm a Respiratory Therapist. I did one travel RT job last year. In my 13 year Respiratory career, I had about 15 different jobs BUT I always kept ONE same PRN job for the last 11 years. Whenever I plan to buy a house or refinance, all I have to do is pick up full time hours at that longest PRN job for about two months before contacting the real estate agent and loan officer. :) Also, because of that flexible PRN job, I was able to take off and travel to few countries many times.

This is SO helpful! I’ve been doing travel SW for a little over 1 year. And would like to start ‘soft planning’ to purchase a townhome in the next couple of years.

In the process of trying to get my first home.. and on my 2nd assignment with my 2nd agency as a traveler… thank you for this!!!!

You just saved my future! Thank you for taking the time to explain all the right stuff!

Excellent info. A lot of stuff I knew beforehand but it floors me the amount of nurses I come across that don't know these things before buying a home. Great video!

Nursing student here :) This was so inspirational! Congrats on your new home!!!

This is so, so important. Thank you!!

Thank you for this!!! Currently looking into buying a home this year!! This was helpful

This video was EXCELLENT 👍🏽! Thank you for your insight. I am going through this process right now and hitting a brick wall. They see these big checks but want to know what the longevity of it is. It's frustrating. You gave me so much clarity.

Good information and strategies to consider! Thanks for sharing this video! ❤️🥰

This was extremely helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing this insight!!✨✨

I am currently a critical care RN and l work from home as a utilization review nurse..you gave some excellent advice about buying a home. I recently purchased my second New construction home. However right now in 2022 the housing market prices are very high the prices are 100k more..for example my nurse coworker purchased her new construction home in 2019..l got the same floor plan new construction home in 2021 and paid 70k more. If you decide to get a new construction home please get a realtor to represent you. Please new grad nurse get experience under your belt before you do travel nursing. Your nursing license depends on it.

Lovely video 👌❤️

Thank you for this!!!

Such an inspiration! I've been wanting to make Georgia a permanent home for me, right now I still live in an apartment but my goal is to be debt free in the next year so I can start saving for a home. The market isn't the best for buyers because its so competitive, but seeing the home you've built makes me more curious about building as well. Thank you for sharing this information, I've thought about travel contracts to help me save faster too. :)

Dropping straight gems 💎 right on time thank you for this video 👍🏾👏🏾🤗 I definitely want to own my own home one day.

I’ve been waiting for this video, even though I’m a respiratory therapy student…Congrats on your new home!!

An alternative is to take a travel assignment and negotiate a high portion of your pay as taxable with a lower per diem.

thank you this was really helpful!
