Cater to guests that DON'T want to stay in a hotel.For instance - I have a STR where a family flew into town for a week because a child needed medical tests and possibly surgery. 

Instagram is a wonderful source of trusted information on taxes, legal, medical and all the other complex stuff.

(New carpets, Siding, Paint, maybe just a few appliances) The reason being is that many (many) people seem to forget that rental housing is incredibly hard to come by in small towns or outskirts of cities where the primary industries are medical clinics, restaurants, bars, farms, and factories.

If there is any break in their voice or any inclination on their part that they will "try" or "maybe", I flat out say "just be straight with me, was the rent sent or not". 100% of the time the answer is yes, and 100% of the time that's been a lie.Its amazing how bank accounts are hacked, checks are lost, mail isn't collected/lost, fraud happens, medical emergencies occur, etc exactly 1 day after rent is due, but the other 30 days of the month nothing ever happens.

Does anyone have a process they go through to check demand for traveling medical professionals?

When i posted this here in another thread a member  said he tells them he wants the office address of their doctor along with their written consent to confirm there is a medical reason for this pet.  

You can get very good property for the money, and in Lubbock we do not rely on energy, but mainly have a medical HUD and Texas Tech University which will always drive traffic and bring people to this area.

Urban cores seem to be doing well for MTR because of business and medical demand, as well as family relocations etc.This last question is a tough one.

I bought a property which has 5 bedrooms in the first level that is zoned for both residential and limited office which can be used for professional offices, medical office, etc but no retails.

I want to thank all those that reached out to help me with the commercial lending suggestions. I just got word yesterday I am approved through a local community lender.
Thanks,
All!!
