[sic] Those two things seem contradictory in nature to me.

It’s human nature to give business to folks you like, so put yourself out there face to face, not just on social media 

@Tuan Huynh I have several units that I medium term rent to travel nurses/doctors here in San Diego and in process of renovating and converting yet another...I personally love it...I thought I'd naturally have more vacancy than a long term rental but so far in this first year i've been trying this out, no vacancy yet.

While most medical professionals are good about planning for the future, the nature of how contracts get filled and where that takes the traveler often happen last minute. 

One challenge when building small units is bringing in natural light as they tend to be long and narrow.  

This is merely the nature of the business. 2.  

Condotels that allow short term rentals, are considered to be non-warrantable condos for the single fact amongst a few others, that they are transient in nature, similar to a hotel.

Technically speaking, I am the only "natural person" in both entities. 

I personally own a personal home for the past 7 years so I kind of understand what can go wrong and things of that nature besides being a landlord, I never rented where I live just yet.i do agree with you, I’m still okay with going after a single family especially if it’s a great deal, why pass on it but, I do want to take it easy whether it is a single family or not, a duplex would still be a little considered easier compared to like a triplex or a quad. 

Do not invest in any city on Neighborhood Scouts’ list of the 100 most dangerous US cities.Low risk of a natural disaster: I frequently read of entire cities devastated by a natural disaster.
