Hey Celine, from my understanding its very difficult to grow a portfolio of short term rentals using the BRRRR method as an out of state investor.

If you treat your PM like a company that just unclogs a toilet then you're really short changing yourself. 

@Teri Feeney Styers the slow flip method that I think he is referring to is the one coined by Scott Jelinek which is buying a livable property using private money on a short term (typical 60 month--like a car) and immediately marking it up 2-4 times and selling it on a 30 year term using a land contract.

The remaining principle balance is just short of your final payment.Are there any questions?

Add long distance to the equation and it just seems even more risky. 

Like almost everything else in life: Short-term pain for long-term gain!

And for the short term goal, do a house hack as you have planned.If you need any more direction send me a message.

Hey Caleb,The short answer is yes—MLS systems are regional, so photo availability and listing practices can vary quite a bit.
