Nursing is one of the best professions in the world NOT to have to transition out of.

Another option if you are looking to rent rooms and there are hospitals in your area is to market to travelling nurses, using a website like https://www.furnishedfinder.com/  These are shorter term leases, usually about 3 months, and you are renting to professionals who are in an area for work.

@Jennifer Fernéz I would just advise you to listen to practitioners that own real estate rather than service providers.

As Kevin points out, traveling nurses make good money, and their employer pays for their housing.

I would like to convert the garage into a one bedroom and rent either to another long term tenant or mid term (30 day min for professors or traveling nurses). 

You will be within close proximity to the University and approximately 5 minutes driving distance from the main city area, which also includes the hospital (could be good maybe for a medium term rental if close enough for travel nurses). 

That’s impressive and such a fun way to connect your passion for running with family life.It sounds like you’ve got a solid start with house hacking and traveling nurse rentals.

I would strongly suggest considering leaning into the niche of traveling nurses.

They both have great jobs as nurses.
