Trying to narrow down which strategy will best suit our goals and lifestyle is my current focus, and I am looking forward to having meaningful conversations here on these forums.

I’m currently working to narrow down a list of potential areas to deep dive.

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 $). 

In cold calling, have narrowed my focus since posing this question.

All of these are factors in narrowing down your choice for starting.

At some point you have to accept that your first attempt may not be perfect, but if you set some guidelines and narrow your focus down to something that's achievable you should be on your way pretty quickly.

This will help narrow down your home search and give you leverage when making an offer.
