If there is any traveling nurses on here I am especially interested in marketing to nurses and Im very curious how this rental model will work out. 

For me the deciding factor is what is your plan b and c if plan a doesn't work out?

I think a hard money lender would work out pretty well in your situation.

how did it work out for you?

I’d want to know if I was subbing the work out so it could be addressed and not happen on future projects.On a side note when you said reseal the toilet you mean pulled the toilet and installed a new wax ring and not just caulking the bottom right? 

If you are doing a lot of advertising and hustle, or doing loan workouts, that can be viewed as providing services to the IRA.  

It is unfortunate this didn’t work out, we gave them very fair offer.

I likely could get the former owner work out an arrangement (moved out 6 months ago, service BlackKnight company closed up house)  

If you work out an arrangement with the tenant where they get a discount on the rent I would suggest the tenant provide the service first and the credit come after the month or season so that you can ensure the work is complete. 

If it doesn't work out, keep track of the property and try again at a later date.
