Welcome to the forum @Chris Primavera.Seeing as you are brand new today, it would be good for you to search on the forum for those areas and read everything there is about those markets.Grab @Avery Carls book Short Term Rentals Long Term Wealth and read it. https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/short-term-rental-l...It is chock full of info that you need.

Over 1 month with 124 Zillow potential tenant contacts, the property manager report showed no leads from Zillow and couldn't find tenants.

If youd like to get in contact with him please let me know.

You also want a point of contact that knows underwriting too, that way they are proactive in ensuring your deal will get to the closing table.

I appreciate this info greatly.

Overall, my plan is to get as much equity as I can in this market to then invest in more real estate, then optimize in the end for cash flow.Some background info on me: My wife and I are both 24 years old, each of us make a good living for this area and are fine saving money and living in an apartment with cheap rent at the moment.

As a first time out of state investor, I would not do a BRRRR to start until you build your contacts and systems there. 

I have been pleased with it and not just tons of excellent info and resources, but great interaction along with accountability with the focus on taking action. 

The point of contact for me was Adam.
