I provide full kitchen pots, pans, utensils, etc.

Hello all! My name is Jason and I've lived in Charlotte for about 30 years. Many years ago I obtained a NC RE license and found out real quick that I wasn't blessed with the gift of patience. Driving wishy-washy buyer...

Lol they neatly wrapped up all their garbage and they even washed the pots and pans?

The demand is usually steady year-round in Chicago for that group.That said, here’s how I’d weigh it:If you go MTR:You’ll need to furnish it properly — not fancy, but turnkey: queen bed in each room, blackout curtains, comfy couch, smart TV, solid Wi-Fi, a stocked kitchen (pots/pans, utensils, coffee maker, toaster), and a simple desk setup.Expect about $4K–$6K upfront to get it guest-ready if you’re starting from scratch.Cleaning and turnover management can be automated (Turno app or a local cleaner), but there’s still some coordination involved.Since you’re near a hospital, list on both Furnished Finder and Airbnb (30+ night stays) — that combo usually keeps you booked.If you go LTR instead:You’ll save yourself the time and mental load of setting up a new system while adjusting to newborn life.Even if the rent’s lower, you’ll get steady income and less stress, which might be worth it right now.Winter leasing in Chicago:Yeah, it’s slower — especially December through February — but MTRs tied to hospitals stay active because medical contracts don’t follow the same seasonality.If this were me?

As you build your portfolio you set aside a percentage for contingencies and if an unforeseen expense comes up you spend out of that pot of money.  

Then you not only have serving options but options to fill in at the bar which can also be lucrative.

I also need a separate application filled out for each adult. 

A slight discount if its a generally an easy to fill commercial space.

So its much more of a melting pot than most folks understand. 

I have seen streets behind duplexes like this that were very rough with pot holes. 3.
