@Jeremy VanDelinder  The couple hundred bucks may be nice to throw at some lower level subcontractors , but as a professional you would have to move the decimal point to the right to get my attention

You need a professional help doing this. 

Large house = $1,500/mo ($900 for 3 bed, $600 for 2 bed)Small house = $1,100/mo ($550 for each unit)I see a huge opportunity here to buy these houses this fall/winter and let the current leases expire and then rehab them next spring/summer just in time to rent to nurses/young professionals working at the hospital.

Experienced landlords will tell you that a lot of applicants have sob stories like this and usually when you make exceptions like those being asked of you in this case, you end up regretting it in the end. 

Lots of time spent showing properties for rent, processing applications- running credit checks and verifying employment, We are not on call 24/7, but if ther is an emergency, the tenants have a number to call which is our local plumbing and water remediation Company. 

That doesnt include all the other professional costs (civil, structural, permit fees, etc). 

You should continue educating yourself by reading books, listening to podcasts and networking with like-minded RE professionals through local REI clubs found on meetup and here on BP.

Most contractors will complain about this but the few that are professional will already know and can help make the process less painful. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

I'm not a professional yet, but I have started down that path.
