I'm looking at doing my 1st mid term rental, do you have any advice for getting it leased?

IT's pretty cheap and they do excellent work.

Quote from @Michael Turner: here is their website - https://www.lurin.com/thanks in advance -  I did a quick check about the company and it passed the initial sniff test.

It presented itself at a great price while I was on the hunt.

Assuming I purchased a property, how do I find renters?

Now, I do zelle or they directly drop it in Navy Federal. 

Out here in AZ you're going to need to do a STR or MTR if you want to break even on a property with only ~20% down, but if you pick the right location appreciation should beat the national average. 

It might, but it also might not.

Do you find it valuable to be a member of the AAPL as a private lender/broker?

It should help you figure out what's what while you are here.
