I would like to get 1 LTR and 1 fix-n-flip done this year.Hey @Evan Malburg, welcome to the BP Forum!

@Shaylynn O'LearyI think I may have posted this in response to you in another thread a while back, but here goes again.If you pick a random "low cost" market like the ones you named, don't know anyone there, don't set up a network, buy random properties, and turn them over to people you've never met to manage, you will most likely lose money. 

i feel like the local FB groups will not allow me to advertise my STR there because they would label it as "soliciting".. any way to get around this so that it doesn't look like i'm soliciting? 

This was not the first time. 

Or what programs can anyone suggest that would be best for this scenario.

If you achieved this by paying all cash, then you are losing money. 

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I agree with Adam on this.

I would recommend working with a good investor agent who can help with all of this!

I own a 4plex there and I have one unit that has been vacant for about 4 months now and this seems on the high side of vacancy time.
