Mississippi is pretty small not a lot but start with DR Horton, Lennar, etc. most companies are after large growth cities though. not sure about Jackson 

With several large universities, including the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, and Drexel University, the city has a steady stream of students and young professionals looking for rentals.

I looked at the market and see there's a large selection of 4bed/2bath homes in your price range.

You want to make sure they are properly installed and you don't want tenants moving large appliances in and out of the house as it will cause damage. 

I have my eye on a large single-family residence in Bethlehem, PA, but I have yet to acquire financing.

It'll likely take a month or two assuming that the loan is with one of the large servicing companies that move at a glacial pace. 

While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.

For example: A small town has a large employer close down.

Use this as a way to secure downpayment, then refinance and pay back the loan to secure your cryptocurrency.That said however, I think real estate investing is going to change dramatically over the next several years, largely due to smart contracts and tokenization.

@Jackson Pudlo I have house hacked both ways, during my 20s and 30s in large SFHs and now as I’m approaching 50 I’m in a duplex where I rent one side and have a tenant in the other.
