Hello investors,I have two long term sfh in Cleveland and considering purchase a third one for short term rental.Anyone with experience operating short term rental near hospitals in Cleveland for traveling nurses/ staff /patients that can provide a feedback? 

This is especially true if they cannot provide you photos of before you moved in and photos of the damage.

Plus I wasn't married with kids, so I was comfortable taking the risk.I found that owning my primary residence as my first "deal" was a really great way to get into real estate.

I put in approximately $16,000 and she only provided $4,000.

I would provide checkout instruction and checklist, offer a pre-move out inspection, and expect them out on the day that they indicated.  

(So there’s plenty left if you have to sell and pay off the loan while providing plenty of funds if the rehab goes over budget.Then you just figure out how much you want to make if anything.

Key was getting them to the table and providing us a list of todos.
