I started the new year with the daily habit of contacting 10 seller's a day.

Based on my market it should rent for 475-500 a month there is also a spot set up on the property to place a camper (travel trailer).

I lost weight by changing my habits, and there was one that I always fall back on.I decided to start walking - a lot. 

I suggest near hospitals, universities, and other areas that have high demand for travel but also high demand for long term rentals.

I figured easily over 100k just to make it habitable...but how much over?

I just want to travel and enjoy life.  2 more years or less is the goal.So what is your end game? 

Make sure the tenant changes the filter often.Landlord vs Tenant ResponsibilitiesYou're onlyresponsibility is to provide a safe, habitable property that is up to codeSmoke detectors,heat, appliances, plumbing are things you are responsible for If a tenant breaks something like a window, hire someone to fix it and charge the tenant Tenants responsibility to report problems or they will have to pay for itAnnual Preventative MaintenanceSpot problems beforethey become an issueGive the followinglist to a handyman once a year (interior): Change furnace filters Vacuum dust from fridge coils Replace smoke detector batteries Check carbon monoxide detector is working Sweep fireplace Ensure lint from the dryer vent has a clear path to outside Flush water heater Check the expiration date on fire extinguisher Repair broken caulk or grout in the bathroom Tighten any handles, knobs, racks etc.

.- will you be traveling to that area?

The places I have interviewed so far want a $100 travel charge!

Apparently some people get their housing costs covered by a stipend on travel and can spend a little more to avoid a hotel and this might be workable if you're in the right location.
