There are a lot of ways to meet the requirement 

Have you checked similar listings in the area to see how quickly they are renting?

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Most any major metro area is going to have good demand for medium-term rentals.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

Generally speaking, have any of you invested in this area and been successful?

Go out to AirBNB and VRBO and check the area where you are looking.

If not I would recommend looking up other AirBnB owners in the Covington area and simply asking them who they use. 

Even in philly in D class area it is tough to hit the 1% rule.

Once the seller signs it, use your CRM to mass-contact investors/developers/flippers in that area (perhaps using your database/services in a different way to identify these LLCs/people) and sell them your contract with an assignment fee.
