Are there other, more cost-effective alternatives to gain similar support and knowledge?

This is going to keep your bid honest, rather than lazier and keep your cash position stronger. 4) The only time you spend in this, is finding & closing on the quality assets and playing devil's advocates for repair/rehab/fixing costs.

However, I’d love to hear from anyone with experience in this market.What platforms or services have you found most effective for connecting with traveling nurses?

My thinking is that by renting to a residential care facility I can effectively utilize all the space, earn above market rent, and help provide a needed service, while avoiding tenant parking jams. 

What financing strategy would be most effective?

The PMS around here are pretty terrible, I've worked with a lot of the larger ones in Cleveland and I think they just take on more properties than they can effectively handle and don't hire enough additional employees to make it work. 

@James Wise MICHIGAN UPDATE: new law went into effect January 2, that landlords can no longer discriminate on tenant income source.

If you pay cash, you don't have a payment, but effectively you are giving up an income stream if the cash had been in a bond or ETF and earning you either interest or appreciation. 

Rent control advocates will state it is greedy landlords because they have zero knowledge of basic economics.

@Thomas Farrell The BRRRR strategy can be effective with $400K in capital, especially in a market like Augusta, GA, offering affordability and rental demand.
