Any tips on how to identify markets for long term rental income?

If so, any tips for doing this for tems, contract, etc? 

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but I could try to help you sell it if you're interested.

Looking for tips with regards to searching to get to the real meat of this investment.

Also in many instances that I have seen the fees are very high for managing the investor pool and the property management and the returns may be comparable to a CD with the risk.

Any advice or tips really appreciated and again excited to just start jumping into a community of likeminded people.

Even though we were lucky to find someone fairly quick, we did notice the rental pool of renters was a lot less but still out there or the home rental pool has increased (maybe both).Good luck!
