It could take you a month to find your first renter, then they stop paying after eight months, it takes two months to kick them out, then a month to renovate and find a new renter, and the cleaning and repairs cost $3,000.12 months of mortgage, taxes, insurance = $1,400 x $16,800Total income this first year: $1800 x 8 = $14,400Add four months of lost rent ($7,200) plus cleaning and repairs ($3,000) = $10,200 $14,400 - $27,000 = -$12,600If everything went perfect after this first year with no vacancies, no maintenance, no expenses, it would still take you 31 months to just break even.All investments involve risk, but it's calculated risk.

Any suggestions on how to locate the perfect person for this job and tips on how to onboard this person smoothly or anything to avoid?

A perfect duo to answer that very question!

It would be perfect for travel nurses (2 minute drive) that come and go from our hospital. 

The condition of the house is perfectly liveable but just requires some cosmetic updates.

If the numbers weren't perfect it didn't matter because I thoroughly believe "the key to getting ahead, is getting started"
