For midterm bookings (1-3 months) we list on Furnished Finder and market the property in Facebook groups designed for travel medical professionals and landlords to connect. 

Hi Joseph, You would need a 2 year seasoning period to qualify for a government loan (FHA) and a longer period for conventional unless you had a documented hardship situation, such as medical illness, etc where the loan can underwritten manually. 

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.  

You can compete with riskier stuff outside common buy boxes and in tertiary markets.If you aren't already licensed, is the plan to use a Realtor to make offers on your behalf, given it is already listed on the MLS, and then shop around for a buyer? 

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.

@Nathan G.I invest in smaller Mom/Pop storage facilities in tertiary markets throughout the Southeast.

When we do Joint Ventures with medical professionals, we explain the process in detail.

For example, if the property is currently vacant and you intend to lease to a medical practice, you should make sure the zoning regulations permit the use of the property as a medical practice.
