With your background in historic property renovation and contracting, you may find particular value in Philadelphia's older neighborhoods, where there's often a wealth of historic properties in need of rehabilitation.Additionally, Philadelphia's rental market remains strong, providing opportunities for cash flow from long-term rentals.

Only bad things will happen if you allow them in your Class A or B rental!

In my mind the only viable option is good ole fashioned long term rental. 

As a model, Techvestor syndicates (uses investor funds) to acquire, fit-out and operate short-term rental properties for profit in select markets across the US. 

I am wanting to do a midterm rental, focused mainly on travel nurses and doctors.

I currently have no rental properties but definitely want some.

I'm working for a broker and real estate agent (as a contract handyman I'm not on their payroll)  who have recently become involved with rentals. 

The home has potential to bring in a monthly rental of $1800 - $2000.  

Imagine whatever the specific goal is-- maybe 100 rental units paid off for instance.  

I will soon be selling my rental condo in downtown Tampa and I should walk away with $500k.
