As I settled into determining the path forward, I began to understand the benefit and searing, Phoenix-like value of a slow and steady, unsexy tertiary market.

Cincinnati has many key “anchors” from a REI perspective- P&G, Kroger, GE Av, Western and Southern, The University of Cincinnati, UC Medical, etc.

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. 

I happen to think Tulsa is a fantastic tertiary market with lots of upside.  

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.

City of Houston public works is stricter and more of a pain than tertiary markets3.

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.

Most of the deals Im looking at now are in tertiary markets like Temple, Belton, Killeen, Taylor and Hutto.
