No one would tell a 1st year medical student to do surgery just so they don't have analysis paralysis, yet I see this everyday on real estate forums.  

Not going to be a huge cash cow per bed, but with the amount of people moving here (looking for a quick cheap sublease till they find a place they really like), students, and temporary IT and medical workers I don't see myself having any problems filling the other two beds for at least $400/month.

Another thing to think about, Columbia has two major hospitals and some smaller medical facilities.

The plan is to maximize the space we have and rent as midterm rentals to medical and business professionals.

Think isolated towns that are still a hub for rural communities, have a decent medical base, a college or two or three or military nearby.

It offers triple tax benefits: contributions are tax-deductible, earnings grow tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free.5.
