Quote from @Francisco Milan: These really do not do much these days for people finding most of the listing online; however, you need to be sure that you put one out because any lead is a lead to put in your database to market to. 

I would choose the strategy that best fits your strengths (unfair advantages) and what the market in your area demands.

I’m based out of Lehi, Utah, and have always been fascinated by the potential of real estate to create opportunities and build wealth.After spending time learning about the industry and what it takes to succeed, I’m ready to dive in and start making deals happen!

I.E. you know the area better than others.Is there a short-term rental market where you vacation at, where you went to college or where you grew up in?

Woah 13.85% even on an investment property is super high...I got a heloc at a 7.25% (this is variable with the market as with any HELOC) for an investment property.Talk to your local credit union.

Get familiar with price points in your market and what looks like a good deal. 

Any brokerage can be the right fit for you so long as you commit to taking initiative and putting in the work.By 'work', I mean income-producing activities (lead generation and follow-up) i.e. cold calling, door-knocking, contacting your sphere of influence, networking, hosting open houses, running online advertising, marketing (paper or online), or anything else that will get you in front of prospective clients.My first broker rarely answered my phone calls and by the time she responded, I'd often already have the answer I was looking for.

Mine have appreciated off of the charts in the Charlotte metro market.

How valuable is this location in that market? 

Tremont is an excellent area with really high market rents and super high demand.  5000+ sq ft. is huge too, congratulations!
