    If you’ve ever had to buy and sell a house, it’s a real pain in the ass. If you’re not really sure about a city yet, renting for a year makes more sense than buying, especially if you’re sure you want to stay longer than a hotel would make sense

    Ummm that’s the only situation I can think of where it’s not just the picture on the right

      Also if you have no intention of staying in the city at all. If I take a 12 week contract it would be ridiculous to stay in a hotel for all 3 months.

        Maybe depends on the contact. I’ve seen travel contracts for healthcare where they’ll sometimes put you in a hotel and cover the cost.

          they’ll also cover a rental and I can have a living room and a washer and depending on the type of stipend pocket the rest.
