I have multiple listings across different parts of Florida and I don't even live in FL.

I have 1 partner who provides up to 75% of the down payment, however, my goal has always been to live below my means, save money, and invest the saved money as a downpayment. 

I also pay my mortgage for the house I live in.

And communications from REI is far above the industry average that I can tell you.SFR rentals are not a get rich quick or cash flow to live off of.

Hello, I live in southeastern Wisconsin and currently have a long-term duplex in Wisconsin.

Where are you living at this point?

Story I got was that she lives out of state, thought she had family local to help manage it but they are moving.

But honestly, if you live here, you will understand and be more patient with the investing scenario. 

However, I am thinking of having my parents who are retired living there part of the year and doing STR for the remainder of the time.

(or if they're primary buyers, they don't care about yield, since they're going to live there.)i just went to visit two very distressed properties yesterday that i would buy.... if they were priced 50% lower.
