@Justin Chan, You might be eligible for a partial tax free exclusion if you had to move out of the house for medical or job related reasons. 

One of the strategies being deployed in East Garfield is to provide fully furnished rooms with internet and washer/dryers and rent by the room to graduate and medical students as the area is not that far from the Medical district. 

I've seen monthly stipends range from 1500-2800, specifically looking near the military bases, medical center, and airport. 

I don't come from money and had credit card debt/medical debt when I started.

Also research rental demand, particularly from traveling professionals, students, and medical staff. 

The property management side, realty medics, could use a tune up as well. 3 day notice not posted until the 17th after me hounding them.

My thoughts: East Bay:- Close to a BART station to traveling medical worker/corporate person could hop on a bus/BART to work: El Cerrito, San Leandro, Hayward, Fremont, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Dublin, Pleasanton- Maybe Richmond, Antioch and Pittsburg but some parts have a lot of crime. - Going further out Brentwood and Oakley have appreciated quite a bit and have pretty good schools- Something with potential to add value: ADU attached to the main house or separately in the backyard in the future to get additional rent.

I really need help refining these ideas into something that is workable, and of course none of this is workable if we can't get a DSCR loan, which she's worried about.Between dealing with the symptoms of the stroke, trying to apply for workers comp and medical retirement, worrying about her sick time running out, and worrying about how she's going to replace her income she really can't deal with this, and I'm pretty stressed too.

Mercedes Benz also has a large facility as well.

Investing in Ohio, specifically Cleveland,  is a great idea in my opinion.Recently, we have been breaking grounds on large development plans such as the Cleveland Cavalier's Perfomance Center, Blue Abyss aerospace training facility, Sherwin Williams HQ, and not to mention the multi million dollar Metro Health development that was completed recently that has just started adding rapid appreciation in the Clark-Fulton area.These projects will only increase demand and most are in the beginning phases.
