Anyone have insight on these being better markets for traditional long term rentals vs. 30 day minimum extended stays / MTRs?

Your focus on an arbitrary unit count isn't indicative of success and can lead to bad investment decisions.  

But, I would not bet on a boom in rents or prices until 2026 at least. 

3. what is the good price+/-  to offer on this property ? 

Mortgage on my current home (4 bed, 1.5 bath, on roughly an acre, in a quiet neighborhood) is $1445 and the idea would be to rent it out for $2000ish plus all utilities depending on the rental market this time next year but currently that's pretty close to where it would be. 

If you are signing contracts on behalf of others, then you are required to have a real estate license or be an attorney.

They are claiming the house I'm looking to buy should rent for over $200 what I'm finding on rentometer, craigslist, zillow, etc, and even a rental appraisal from my house's appraisal report. 

I never imagined I would sell or refinance the 2 best ones because I have 2.65% mortgages on them and they cash flow well, but want to make sure my equity is working up to it's ability for me. 

  $300 positive cash on day one with roughly $30k equity.
