Bad news travels fast. 

We target insurance and corporate bookings as well as travel medical professional agencies. 

Ants, spiders, flys, and other ordinary pests are often brought in by tenant behavior, so it's reasonable to expect them to handle with removal.Bed bugs are 100% the tenant's fault because they do not travel from home to home on their own; they have to be brought in.

As far as property management goes, I figured it might be best (in my particular situation) to start with a property manager since I will be travelling for work for most of next year and it would be better to have someone local to handle things for me?  

I travel for work, so I'm not taking out a HELOC because I don't own a home.

If it's nice inside and out, or can become nice, it could appeal to travel nurses as well.

-i highly recommend you travel in person to your chosen market to build a team. 

So, what will be your cost to travel to defend yourself in court?

Most of our MTR properties are located in Indianapolis, and the majority of our tenants are traveling healthcare professionals.

Some strategies to lessen the negative cash flow are: house hack and rent out the other unit as a mid-term rental (to traveling professionals or for people temporarily displaced because of insurance reasons like fire) or short-term rental (business or vacation).
