To that end, I made a Google sheets document with every hospital system in GA along with the following data:CityZip CodeRentometer 2/X   (what a 2 BR, any bath) goes for on Rentometer)RentRentometer 3/1+ Rent (what a # BR, 1.5+ bath) goes for on Rentometer)"Minutes to home"  (how far a drive it is for us)"Staffed Beds"  (measure of how big a hospital is)"Total Discharges" (a different measure of hospital size)"Patient Days"  (yet another different measure of hospital size)"Gross Patient Revenue ($000)" (you guessed it, hospital size)Map Searches & Housing Requests (this and everything below was from FF.com stats page)Furnishedfinder.com Page ViewsTotal RoomsPrivate Rooms % UnitsHotels% Whole Place > 2500 %Whole Place > 2k < 2.5k %Whole Place > 1.5k < 2k %Room > 1500 %Room > 1k < 1.5k Page view per roomThis allowed us to narrow our search to hospital systems near us (less than 2 hours) in a less competitive market (higher page views per room advertised on FF.com) with a significant % of units being rented on FF.com at higher rents (more $). 

I've heard that DealMachine is becoming the go-to tool for this kind of data, but I've also noticed some strong results coming from Crexi lately.It seems like Crexi has a more multifamily-focused platform, while DealMachine is often geared toward wholesalers.

I recommend you do a google search for "real estate seller financing" and educate yourself through some blogs, then have a conversation to see if the two of you can agree on terms that work for everyone.Be sure to use an attorney to draft the documents, not the same one the seller uses.

I am learning but am struggling to tie tools, etc, together to understand a deal.  

And yes we also broke a window or 2 while we were there.Great thread, you've inspired me to focus my search close to UNCW here in Wilmington, NC. 

Please message me if you’re still looking and like to talk :) good luck with your search!

I agree with @Jonathan Greene here that the first step is thinking through what to do with the primary residence - you might try this tool that I built a few months ago to analyze whether you should keep or sell the primary residence! 

Is there a no win / no fee type of service I should be searching for?   

No jazzy tools, BS booklets, word-salad info whatever's, just BE OF SERVICE. 

It’s all about positioning yourself for long-term gains, and with your current knowledge and tools, you’re in a great spot to make that happen!
