I am a nurse from the Charlotte area in NC.

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in turning an assisted living/nursing home or small hospital into a senior, 55 and older home share, or apartments?   

@Antonio Daniels 1-there are no different standards for screening...what you will find is that they will likely not meet your earning requirements (like 3x rent)...so you have to make exceptions...they also have very colorful backgrounds for the most part...after screening hundreds of section 8 tenants, definite patterns will appear...if you have a credit score requirement, odds are they will not meet there either (but there are fantastic voucher tenants out there as well...I've rented to nurses and other professionals with a voucher do to having a disabled child that needs a lot of services)...the one thing to be aware of is not treating them differently because they have voucher...2-The inspection depends on local authority, but the standards are the same...this is a federal program...so Housing Quality Standards (HQS) is the guiding document...how an inspector interprets that is another story...https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfil...3-Usually you will only have recertification annually, or possibly at an income change or a request or complaint...4-100%, it's one of the best sources of long-term steady income out there...I'll take a section 8 tenant over a white collar A-class tenant any day...plus you are helping to house the most vulnerable and underserved population out there.The bad things you hear about section 8 are from folks that do not understand the system and how it works, or want to be slumlords and not take care of their properties...or are ill prepared to deal with people in general.

I quit to become a nurse in 2020 and Corona happened.

I don't want to ask that question, because I don't think it has an answer, and I think even spoon feeding someone an answer, they still are unlikely to have success, as they haven't done the requisite homework to evaluate and make best use of even a great answer.I'm a travel nurse, so I am quite rarely ever home.

@Jonah MullinsOne particular Airbnb strategy I have seen is focused on traveling and contracts nurses.

Finally, we have a large regional hospital and another similar facility going in within 20 minutes, so another possibility is renting to traveling nurses.

I am a disabled veteran and a retired nurse of 20 years.

I heard a BP Podcast a while back that also suggested renting to long term nurses. 

is there a reason a family would want to vacation at your house or is this more of a traveling nurse type property?
