There are also facebook groups for various cities/states/communities where you can place and promote your listing.Happy to help answer any other specific questions!

Greetings, I know your post is a bit older now, but I’m in your area, South Bend/ Mishawaka and just wanted to say hello. 

He's going to try posting with a real estate agent for 90 days and see how that goes. 

Quote from @Charles Fay: Hello all, first time posting and wanted to ask for your advice.currently in the military awaiting a 9-12 deployment within the next 6 months.I will have ~150k savings after deployment, 85k before, with no debt, payments or anything other than basic bills, 750+ credit.

Quote from @Kendric Buford: Hi, still new to the forums, please pardon any oddities in my post.

For example how many post do we see that Say I live in LA which is expensive and need to look OOS .. and how many post do we see that says I live in Cleveland and I want to invest in LA. ???

So I saved you 5k and read my post above on why short-term rentals are a far better investment without the headaches of going to court to recoup damages or fight claims of being a slumlord (which by all accounts he is) 

I look forward to seeing your posts and wish you success in your investing journey
