G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

We negotiated a deal with the owner for 20% Equity, we are responsible for infilling the community as well as property management (which we also get paid separately for).

Wholesaler that I managed his airbnb.

He usually buys in C neighborhoods and has to do heavy rehab, but he's a construction guy that also runs his own property management company, so it's 2nd nature for him.

Who manages it?

Having the right manager in small towns is challenging

Hey Rebecca, I'm a broker and investor up in Sacramento and manage about 100 investment properties (STR and LTR).Many of my clients are high W2 earners seeking "bonus depreciation" to offset tax liability by investing in STR.

I have solid property management in place with my portfolio so the time commitment is minimal but it still takes up space in my brain.

Take a hard look at your time management.

And at the top, you need three key people: an artist (to deliver a great product), a manager (to keep things running smoothly), and an entrepreneur (to drive it forward).
