Quote from @Ryan Pham: Is there a reliable way for to est income of a furnish / short term / airbnb  incomevs long time income ( I know this can be est looking at comparable posting in same area )I have a 3 bed / 1 bath small townhome ( hoa approved ) I like to try to fully furnish and do airbnb / fully furnish rentalThis unit is 1 mile from Banner Desert Medical Center ( traveling nurse ?

The furthest properties are the hardest to deal with because my contractors don’t want to travel that far due to their time wasted driving and the cost of gas for their big trucks.

We are both nurse and plan to travel for a good portion of this time, so 'living' in the small 1br or studio apartment for residence purposes will not be a major issue for us since we will rarely be there.

Or should I keep tenants in units and once they move out turn it into midterm rentals for traveling nurses, etc?

But if you plan to travel back and forth, just make sure you that the people you have working on your property are highly reputable and trustworthy. 

Traveling? 

Do you want to travel 2 days to the east coast, FL or something only a day away you can get to quickly like AZ or NV?

Unless you're in the right market, traveling nurses can be hit-or-miss.

I’m also interested in the Louisville market - given the SF Bay Area (where I live) is too pricey for a newbie like me to start off in - and I travel to Louisville several times a year for work.
