Here are some of the more longstanding discussions that may help to answer your questions.Specifically at Rent To Retirement, we operate a turnkey marketplace that focuses about 90% on A class, new construction properties located in growth markets.

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. 

Purchase price: $73,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Current market rent $1295 vs $1300 for Section 8.

Rent we collect is typically 30-50% higher than market average.

And this is so market specific..  

I live in a town of about 100k people here in Dothan, AL, so STRs aren’t the most popping market.

The structure also allows for mitigated tenant and maintenance risk, but it has increased dependence on market movements due to being appreciation based.

Loan sizing varies by market, but in most areas your loan will be sized to 75-80% LTV; 1.20-1.25x DCR; 30-year amortization.

In my day job I do SEO for a digital marketing agency and I am more than happy to talk SEO with anyone who has questions.I'm interested in Long-term rentals, though admittedly, finding deals below market value and funding those deals (not to mention I honestly have no idea have to put the deals under contract in the first place), are problem the first things I'll need to learn.

No need for a clunky online portal when they can handle everything easily via text.I completely agree that market positioning will be key.
