Toying with furnishing it for the holidays, and then for travel nurses or cooperate housing. 

Lots of opportunity for that in Columbus around big hospitals (travel nurses).   

My previous job was a Registered Nurse but after losing my 21-year old daughter to a senseless act of gun violence on August 3, 2015, I could no longer handle the mental and emotional demands of nursing.

One worked for the state, and was a state employee; another was an LPN nurse. 

I owe $175K and I was renting it for $2,095mo.I’m considering the following options:Opt 1 – Wait for one more month to see if a buyer comesOpt 2 – Drop price to $550KOpt 3 – Refi then use the funds to convert to true 2/1, then re-list for $630-$650Opt 4 - Keep original house layout, refi to add an ADU and rent both units ($3,200 mo)Opt 5 – Hold as is, re-rent and refi to get fund for down paymentOpt 6 – Convert it into a nursing home (My wife doesn’t like this option)What would you suggest?

My wife is also a nurse with a 75k job so there’s no reason for us not to get the lowest rate possible I don’t think.

so you could get either  teachers/ nurses/ people that want to be closer to work or the town to fill your units and stay longer term than students so it would really be up to how you screen your tenants and what you setup.

When people used to ask me what I did for a living I would reply "I road race motorcycles for a living... and I'm a nurse to pay for it!"

I'm a firefighter and she's a nurse so we aren't looking to quit our jobs but are interested in using real estate to give us a little financial freedom to take more vacations and enjoy our 3 kids as much as possible. 

The state and nursing homes take cash much easier than houses.
