I'm assuming traveling nurses don't know many people in the area and would know someone to live with. 

They knew a dog lived there when they rented it and they rented anyway, knowing they had allergies and chronic asthma they rented a home with carpet. 

I moved to miami florida to study the economics and help apply it and it was a capital market as well. if you don't live in a capital market like Chicago, New York, Austin Texas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, california or miami florida I'd recommend moving to a market like that too. it will change your life. 

His mom lives in Vancouver, Canada.

But today, my husband and I live comfortably, and we’ve traveled to 20 countries over the past few years.I’ve been listening to BiggerPockets since 2013 and was even featured on the Rookie podcast.

@Michael Smythe the repairs were never completed while the tenant was living there.

We lived in a little apartment above the garage and rented out the main portion of the house. 

I lived in Carlisle for 10 years or so.

I never actually went live on the site because of the 15% fee they wanted.

I’m trying to familiarize myself with the area more thoroughly.it seems to have a stable increase in prices.Since I plan to live in the property initially, breaking even in the first year is my main goal. (5% down; PMI removed with renovation)However, I’m also wondering if it’s feasible to have some cash flow from such rentals, or if the risk of vacancy is high in this market.Any guidance or pointers from those experienced in this area would be greatly appreciated!
