I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but I truly believe starting with a single as a rental is a major mistake.

I own a single-family home right outside the USMC Camp Pendleton base, and I’m looking to explore the mid-term rental niche.

How or would a 5 bedroom house work in terms of landing multiple nurses in a single home? 

I'm sure they also told you their systems will protect against aggressive attorneys and creditors and make you invisible so nobody will ever dare file a claim against you...it's all a money grab.If you are a sole proprietor I am putting my money on the fact a single member LLC in the state in which you live/own real estate will suffice.

I implore you to do one of two things...1) find a partner that's been there, done that, and bought the tee-shirt so you can learn the ropes with someone who knows the pitfalls or, 2) start with a single-family or duplex with the guidance of someone that knows what they are doing.

This is a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom single family house.

Consider house hacking when rates and prices are a little more balanced with reality.I would prefer a duplex/triplex but I know getting into a single family home and renting out the rooms is more accessible .

Personally, I started investing in both single-family and multifamily without joining any coaching programs.

For example, my client just closed a 3/2 single family house for $160k that was already rented at $1900/month and near turnkey and in a super desirable residential area.

Why do you think you can just split a single-family into two units?
