I am guessing you would not use a doctor without ever going top medical school or passing the medical boards, right?

We need to be within a 10-minute commute of the medical center, so for us our target market is Third Ward/South Central/Macgregor/Greater OST/South Union.Could someone who knows these local markets give some insight into price of renovation per square foot?

I've been doing LTR for a few years but wanted to try MTR in one unit as I had such great success renting to medical professionals over the years.I furnished my upper unit in a duplex which is within 5 minutes of a hospital known to use a lot of travelers.

A medical resident at the local hospital has put in a LOT of work and effort to get where they are, and they're unlikely to risk ruining their credit over silly late rent payments or property damage.Having said that, if you upgrade that hypothetical C-grade property to an A-, but it's in an area where nobody has the money to pay the higher rent, or there aren't people interested in renting a higher grade property, then that's going to cost you (this is the classic case of over-improving a property--which a very common mistake by beginning real estate investors).

I was convinced that unless you went to school in the medical field or for law, it just wasn’t worth it. 

Its in a medical district and would rent for around $1,200 - $1,400 per month. 

I'm 36 years old , I served 2 Combat tours in Iraq under Operation Iraqi Freedom as well as Operation New Dawn, I'm currently medically retired at a rate of 100% with the VA.

I like to make sure that there's at least two large tenant pools that fit the property's location, BR/BA count, etc. whether it's traveling medical professionals, students, or insurance relocation clients before deciding on a property. 

Cincinnati has many key “anchors” from a REI perspective- P&G, Kroger, GE Av, Western and Southern, The University of Cincinnati, UC Medical, etc.

Projected Rental Breakdown - Rent estimate = $1350-1450/month (FMV for 4 bedroom house in this area)House is located near a redeveloped & growing business district and a very short commute to medical/dental schools (idea to potentially rent to a group of professional students)New high school is being built over the next couple years within 5 minutes of the home as well**Potential for continued property appreciation for these reasonsSelling positives -Sellers market currentlyAvoid managing the property remotely The property was not purchased with the intention of being an investment property, but considering my current status, the opportunity presents itself to turn it into one, or sell it and move on.
