We are actually thinking about moving into the smaller unit. we are thinking if we should rent the main unit for long term rental or STR like airbnb but im afraid with airbnb, the non occupied days we may miss out on cash if its not rented out. 

The main advice I would recommend is to begin networking.

Principle pay down and appreciation are the main drivers behind my strategy, and I focus more on IRR instead of cash flow.

The main reason for this is to continue to do medical missions around the world  even when I'm dead.

.)- Average days on market- Absorption rate- Historical data on rents and sale prices in the area- Population growth- Main economic drivers (industries, individual companies, etc.)- Crime stats... if you know specific zip codes/submarkets that you'd like to target, the best data will come from local precincts. - and more..I'd recommend remaining active not only here on BiggerPockets, but in other valuable RE investment networks that you can find - i.e. local meetups (meetup.com, eventbrite, BP local events). 

We hope that you can remedy the situation so that we can move into a habitable home.Suggestions that we have to fix the issues:Hire a company to rip up the carpets, treat the subfloors, and replace the carpets, at least on the main level and on the stairs.Provide an air purifier as a start to remedying the smell.Replace the garbage disposal.Hire a plumber to fix the draining issue in the bathroom sink of the smaller bedroom.Fix the tiles in the upstairs bathroom so they no longer present a safety hazard.Replace or fix the screen doors.Fix the gap between the windows and the walls in the living room.Hire a professional company to treat the entire home for pests.

There are a few others here on bigger pockets who have endeavored to do so and can attest to this  (but I will not name them).Basically AHP bought 1000s of low value non-performing loans, these require the most oversight mainly due to the condition of the properties. 

The plan for me is to breathe new life into old structures and develop useful supporting infrastructure to enhance the main focus of the repurposed campus.Anybody working in the Milwaukee area that might be interested in partnering or at least connecting with Stormi Jellison (Stormi Maya), please reach out to her.

And what are your main concerns about financing?

It seems like the main value is the property management and not the buy side.
