This targets family’s between homes, either because they just moved to the area; have a definitive time work contract; current house is being rebuilt/remodeled/repaired; students with “rich” parents; recent separated/divorced who needs space for children visits; Houston medical center stays; etc.

I understand you don't need a lot of space, but you are paying someone else's mortgage.I would start with a fixer-upper investment, up to four units.
