I recommend targeting other potential tenants because the home is larger.

Investing in multifamily properties aligns with long-term goals, but may require larger down payments and may be less accessible initially.

You'll get a much larger sample size than a couple folks open to talking over virtual coffee. 

-The property does have back property taxes, so I will need to contact the county assessor to find out information on paying those at/after closing, but I want to use that in negotiations for price/terms, as the taxes are now almost 3 years delinquent and tax foreclosure is coming this November if not paid (in full or in payments, tax assessor will know for sure).For context, its a 2 bed 2 full bath (1/1 each side) just under 1,800 sq ft. total, thinking rent for the larger side would be $1250ish and the smaller side $950ish, purchase price I'm unsure of but I would start at $120k due to burn damage and back taxes.

I work a ton of Californian investors here and most usually start with turnkey, then move to value-add, and then larger multi-family. 

@Justin MeltonYou can also reach out to larger local companies that have HR departments that help locate temporary housing for employees. 

There are some larger operators in TN maybe you could reach out to

I did STR in a duplex starting back in 2017 and managed for others in North Conway, Ive since converted to all long term tenants and happy i did so... unless your property has something unique or a "rare" amenity.... like, sleeps 30, I honestly would not waste any energy on it in the north Conway area. so saturated, and so much big money being invested in the hotels, its tough to match amenities vs cost, and I see travelers trending back towards the hotel style accommodations. granted, for the right price, I'd buy anything and figure out what the best use for it is. use airdna.co for decent data on # of Short term rentals in any particular market. can also identify opportunities. the point of my response.... be careful in STR in any area and always have a plan B. you can change a lot of things about a property, but your cant change your basis!

Rent the larger room out.  

Do they prefer to work with smaller PMs or larger PMs?
