I found out that this was actually not an ideal location, and it has been impossible to rent. 

A software solution would be ideal, but insurance policies don’t seem to be consistently listed anywhere.

Start buying warranties so you don't have To deal with the headache. add 0.5% to the purchase price, make it part of your sales process. hedges and shifts the risk. you can get 10 year builder policies underwritten and approved. that's how we do it. anything we can do to lower the risk for ourselves is ideal.

Ideally this would be the situation.

Access from 390, 290, i90, 53 make it an ideal location 

Ideally, I would STR it to either the wedding hall or seasonally, although the purpose of snow-birding is to be in CT in the summers (wedding season) and Florida for the winters.

Ideally, I'd like to run a strictly mid-term rental operation, though I'm open to short-term if it make sense given the regulations here.

If she just bought it or it’s in a bad neighborhood and hasn’t appreciated you could rent it out but it doesn’t sound ideal.

The answer was typically we want to hire a broker/team leader that will bring a minimum of 35 agents and ideally at least 50 from the last brokerage.

Since the start of the year, I've read a handful of BP books:- Rental Property Investing (Brandon Turner)- How to Invest in Real Estate (Brandon Turner/Josh Dorkin)- Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down (Brandon Turner)- BRRRR (David Greene)- Multifamily Millionaire Volume 1 (Brandon Turner/Brian Murray)- Start with Strategy (Dave Meyer), currently readingI was thinking of using the equity to BRRRR small multifamily properties and combine some concepts from both the BRRRR and Multifamily Millionaire books (specifically making cash offers via HELOC to secure distressed properties, ideally vacant to set market rents).
