One long-shot option is to offer a lease at something like $1,300. 

I also consider this entire Arbitrage / master lease as passe'.

The buyout of the lease is 3k, until January of next year. 

When they sign the lease, it is one of the five key points highlighted on the first page that they have to initial.

.✅ Hands-On Experience – If you plan to grow your real estate portfolio, managing tenants yourself can teach you valuable lessons about leases, maintenance, and local rental laws.✅ More Control – You’ll personally handle tenant screening, rent collection, and property upkeep, ensuring everything is done to your standards.✅ Stronger Tenant Relationships – Being involved directly allows you to build rapport with your tenants, which can lead to better communication and longer leases.Cons of Self-Managing❌ Time-Consuming – Dealing with maintenance requests, late-night emergencies, and tenant disputes can quickly become a second job.❌ Legal Risks – Chicago has strict landlord-tenant laws.

I am an experienced investor and unexpectely find myself managing a duplex myself and wondering if there is a small landlord (aka inexpensive) simple solution for marketing, background checks and lease creation that markets on zillow? 

We do the leasing for them, but once we get the tenant in place, turn it back over to the owner to manage. 

However I mainly wanted to ask about getting housing leases from traveling nurses.I currently have a 5 bed 2 bath, 1920 sqft home in a great neighborhood located less than 1.5 miles from 2 large hospitals here outside of Richmond.

Check your lease as it may state it there.

Everyone has their own room and a bathroom and they share common space such as living room, dining room and a kitchen and they are one the same lease.
