If you have enough of the right kind of capital [long term oriented and willing to ride out the ups and downs of a bad quarter or year] then you can't help but make money since home prices generally go up and to the right.The first iteration of innovation is often clunky and worse than the status quo.

How do I find the most prevalent ones in my chosen markets.Also, I have called many brokers but I keep being sent to voice mail with no call back or no answer at all (pick up-hang up)

About 5 minutes in, I hear a rustle deep in the crawl a voice in the dark says 'well good morning'. 

And it's great that you're so open-minded to remotely owning out-of-state real estate.The Northeast has a lot of high-paying jobs - the best thing you can do is save your income, then take that capital and re-deploy it to Southern STR real estate.I'd strongly suggest NOT getting a property manager (waste of money) & always looking for ways to innovate & improve - there's a lotta money to be made in this game!

If you have expectations that something is done a particular way, voice that in the interview.
