I’ve transitioned myself out of daily operations at my small biz and have discontinued my med school education as I am rather certain I no longer want to be an Orthopedic Surgeon (much to everyone’s shock & surprise!!)...

There's a med school nearby and this is in a popular area but looking for any insights on how i could best target the market I'm looking to rent to in the next 60 days.What other information could I provide to help answer my question?

It would be a simple cash sale.https://www.redfin.com/MD/Capitol-Heights/311-69th-Pl-20743/home/11002975https://www.redfin.com/MD/Capitol-Heights/818-Kayak-Ave-20743/home/11000844311 69th, $94k, 2 bed, 2 bath, 1408 sf, 5000 sf lot, built 1965, 0.7 mile to metro, Low Crime818 Kayak, $78k, 3 bed, 2 bath, 1384 sf, 8000 sf lot, built 1937, 1 mile to metro, Med CrimeZillow says both rent for $1700/month.

Most med students I know with families end up driving twice as far as this house to find something to rent for $950 or less.

I've been looking at the suburbs (independence, lees summit) and the city itself (plaza, westport, KU Med.)For example, I've got my eye on quite a few duplexes in Independence which I can get at $95k and the monthly rent brings in $1400 yet long-term appreciation may be weak.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

:D . 5 realtors were doing poor job, so someone from work recommended me D, and I was very sceptical about him.

I know where they take the test because I ran the Med School Basketball League for 2 years at my college, so I know 100s of Medical Students/Residents, I know the processes.
