The idea of an open house inspection came to thought because there is a family member currently living in the house that has a medical issue.

@Joseph Cornwell I love your story but being a firefighter/medic I wouldn't share this story on a social media platform.

Account Closed There are people out there that have the cash flow and can prove it, and may make very qualified buyers, but have a **** credit score for various reasons (Mine is great due to 20k looming medical bills).

Given that you live in the home and are looking to do a rent-by-room strategy you're probably targeting the right guest type: students and traveling medical professionals.

My wife are small time investors while we both work in the medical field. 

But look into single family long term rentals, single family short term rentals, multifamily, office, medical, retail, storage, industrial, etc.

Ideally, one of the best markets to be in right now is Medical and Warehouse NNN on the commercial side, but the budgetary requirements for that are going to be more substantial. 

I am a medium term rental property manager who works with traveling medical professionals and corporate clients.

It provides medical, dental, and vision care.

We just launched a portfolio loan for medical and healthcare professionals.
