So I thought about directly approaching human resources of the largest employers directly in the area, hospital in particular. 

Most who struggle with construction approach ground up construction using a generic cost per sq ft analysis which often backfires. 

If I were to approach a seller of a $200k home, and they had a remaining mortgage of $100k, could I get a new bank financed loan for that $100k, and have the seller finance the remaining $100k of equity to me?   

Listing your property there ensures visibility.Build Relationships: When agents reach out, respond quickly, highlight your property’s amenities, and showcase your flexibility to meet displaced families’ needs.Highlight Insurance-Friendly Features: Emphasize features like flexible lease terms, utilities included, and a fully furnished setup to attract insurance placements.This approach has helped me successfully market to insurance companies.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

@Benjamin Sanders I agree that getting multiple quotes is the best approach.

I could tell you of countless others doing the same at scale.
