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.

I feel like I should be tipping them for keeping competition at bay.In a few years when the Mike's of the world start wanting to buy in the city we'll be selling them our properties for 3x+ markups and heading to the next up-and-coming city that everyone enjoys regurgitating garbage mainstream media opinions about.

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. 

I would probably deter you from airbnb outside of the urban core unless it has a cool lake view or you plan to cater specifically to traveling medical professionals. 

Yet another option, if you decide to specialize your STR in renting to traveling nurses and medical professionals, there is a huge medical area close to downtown and the Uptown area of downtown.

They can do some fancy things like that and they serve mainstream clients well. 

I have not put the house through probate mainly because no one is disputing the will and there were $300,000 worth of medical bills that im trying to get resolvedone fire filing probate and them becomes by a creditor and taking what little equity is built up ion the house.  

I'd be interested in hearing what Jenn Barona thinks about targeting rentals for medical residents (lots of big teaching hospitals there), professionals (large government employee base) and retirees.
