Have you considered it as an Air BnB or short term rental? 

Call them, or go in person and take a friendly air and tell them what you want to do, and ask if there are any building or zoning considerations you should know about.

Most of the buildings I am looking at have open-air staircases but I hadn't thought about incorporating COVID trends.

Utilities output rose 4.2% in June, as warmer weather drove demand for air conditioning and retail stores around the country continued to reopen.

When you say "short term rentals" are you asking specifically about investing in condos to use as Air B&B's or like a month to month rental?

Hi Everyone,I pulled a the trigger on my first property a little under 2 years ago; a tripled in a college town near my last duty station in the Air Force.

I am a little nervous about the bartending job as things are up in the air with COVID.

A two bedroom house is not the “ideal” property in many markets, but with this being a military town where Seymour Johnson Air Force Base is located we have many service people that are single or want/have one roommate.
