Call hospitals and see if they take traveling nurses and need more housing. 

Check furnished finder, airbnb, VRBO, and Zillow 

I’d also read BP’s book 30 Day Stay

Great stuff here. 

If one comes, I’m asking my guests to go back home. Dealing with a vacant house is enough of a headache during a hurricane.

It’s going to depend on what type of condo it is to determine your lending too. 

You’re basically house hacking, great way to get the ball rolling

All depends on what you want to get out of it & how long you plan to hold the property in the long run anyways. What’s your end game?

PL is not a set it and forget it software especially starting out. You have to to tinker with it to find your Goldilocks pricing. 

Use the enemy method see what your neighbors  are  charging. Be prepared to undercut them starting out 


pL has a ton of free content on YouTube that’s helpful and they hold webinars often.
