I feel confident in property management, so I am ready to move to a different niche, what should my next step be?

Most importantly at the end of the day, you have to feel confident with your choice.

It was interesting to see they scraped review data and saw where travelers mentioned driving from the most to build this list along with metro city growth. 

However through my research i keep coming across this term sneaky duplex where people turn there basements into a unit or block off part of there house to turn into a separate unit. my plan is to use the basement for traveling nurses because you would already have the water and power turned on for them "house is 5 minutes away from the hospital", live in the upstairs for a year and possible house hack one of the rooms.

I am fairly confident that just the front unit alone will appraise to the sale price.Main problem I have right now is the legal issues with unpermitted units.

Is it true that if I get a title search (and it comes back clean) that I can be pretty confident there are no additional liens or monies owed that I'll now be responsible for paying off? 

@Eric Sato My experience in that area suggests that Mid-term rentals (travelling nurses) may be the next best option.

My first guest checks in November 1st, and I'm planning to travel to the property next month and start preparations.

I’m looking at a duplex and running half as STR and the other as mid-term for travel nurses.

Think traveling nurses—they often need a place for 1-3 months and need fully furnished spaces.
