Let’s be honest, I’ve watched folks who jump into this game as if playing roulette.. firing off offers on duplexes in Phoenix or leaning on some “sure-thing” house hack in Austin without ever sketching out their plan.

As you mentioned those specific details about MTRs geared toward traveling healthcare professionals, these are things I think would help us tremendously as landlords because we play both roles.

PG's are worthless those that have PGs that are worth anything dont need gap funding they have the cash.this is a play for folks you know well .. not for internet facebook BP etc.. people that do this do it because they know you like you trust you and think your a good operator.Public has to many other choices that are much safer bet.. its not always about ROI with those with money..

When we miss, even a little, we don't mind being held accountable, fairly.  

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.

If you’re looking to build long term wealth, accumulate assets, take advantage of tax code, and benefit from appreciation, then play the appreciation long game.

I’m in the area around the Fair Grounds and Westbrook Park, great rentals!  

The rooms are unfurnished and the tenants are very low-maintenance (hardly know they are there). 2+Unit Buildings here and nearby currently sell for $1.5M on average.I bought the property 16 years ago, so my mortgage rate is very low (2.2%) Even though the property is cashflow positive, my bigger play is the average 5% yearly appreciation.I'm looking for others who are interested in house-hacking in this neighborhood. 

I would ask to be connected with a fairly new real estate agent.

There is not a lot of data for MTR comps so I look on FF to see how many MTRs are in my area and what the rate is, and I play around with AirBnb to see what  a monthly stay would cost.
