I ended up not even going STR after digging into her projections and finding out they were not realistic and were just based on city-wide data.

Be kind to yourself and feel free to send me a DM if you think that I can be helpful resource.That makes sense but yes I do have FOMO, house prices have historically increased faster than rents, thats a nation wide trend.

I was hoping to talk to people that have gone through his program to see if his success is more widely duplicated.  

Quote from @Kevin Zmick: When a property doesn't rent, there are two primary reasons: the price is too high or your marketing isn't reaching the right audience.If your REALTOR listed it in the MLS, then it's probably syndicated to the best websites and you're casting a wide net.

Now I not saying to not take the deal... just go in with eyes wide open. 

There is a city wide ruling that it isn't allowed.

We just discovered a crack in the concrete slab foundation that is a borderline major problem:- It is a vertical crack about 1/8 inch wide that is at least 9ft long, which is causing a 3/4 inch drop in the flooring and some evidence of old (luckily) limited moisture and termite intrusion. - BUT, it also appears old and probably a symptom of the original house settling.

It's saying a country "can't" exist without wide open borders and rampant exploitation of people. 

We are looking for lenders that understand the market (we are in Lousiana and are casting a wide net due to flexibility) and that will fund our first deal(s).

Besides, she's Section 8 and I'm sure her schedule is wide open.
