A smaller 2-3 bedroom home in those communities don't necessarily require the hands-on touch that the higher end properties do.

You can actually find 2 bedroom condos below $100k now fairly routinely.

I have a 3 or 4 bedroom that I would like to rent/lease to an Adult Group Home or Residential Assisted Living .

My thought ahead of time was similar to you “I want to try these” - thinking I could self install islands of carpet in bedrooms myself and have the ability to patch if needed between tenants.

I've used Zillow and then click on the "Multifamily" selection and then can refine based on square footage or number of bedrooms typically.

I am a big fan of finding a house that has 4-5 bedrooms upstairs given how much you can get in rent for those.
