Big you go this route, join forces with other STR owners.  

Ask the hard money to cross over the rental and this property which is sticky and messy as they may force you to sell both if things go badly.

If done right, you should have forced a good chunk of equity in the property, and then you can refi at numbers that would also allow you to cash flow. 

You should only consider switching when your current software has a significant flaw or lacks features that force you to spend excessive time on workarounds.

Quote from @Sarah Ali: You can't force wealth.

I am Air Force currently stationed here in Fayetteville, NC.

I'd strongly prefer to have a cash-less payment mechanism though, ideally a phone or a card that you can add funds to with a credit card or phone, so that tenants aren't forced to use coins or cash bills.

Locking up equity forces one to gain wealth without using the cash which is a good way to go as far as I am concerned.

And real estate does go up in value over the LONG term, but can drop over the short term, and that isn't good if you're forced to sellGino

Your property management payments will be higher for C to D areas at those price points.
