I'd have to plan around that in case I have to front the rent due to poor performing rentals.

@Andrew Steffens, fair enough, but with a lower entry point, higher appreciation rates than most small cities (it has 100,000+ residents, which is not little), great MTR-LTR metrics, and nearby well-performing regional attractions, it has a lot of data pointing to it having a shot at success. 

Buy in a good location and have multiple strategies should STR not perform as anticipated.
