I care about the rates as it directly affects the bottom line.

Should i send them to the property before or after the inspection?

STR is a bit weird because the Covid travel demand pushed the price hardcore for the last few years. 

We are wondering what to do next....multi family unit?

However, I had to subordinate the sellers note to 2nd position (hint: set up that language in advance to streamline the process, if that's the direction you're going to go).Since the ARV was high enough, and the potential income would support the mortgage and expenses, it all worked out. 

I went through the same dilemma when I started investing a few years ago.

I'm looking at monthly cost to seller vs. anticipated rental income, purchase price relevant to the ARV of the area and interest rate, balloon, etc.

Otherwise, just go through all the local/regional banks.   

My next question is what kind of cash do you have available? 

I can go way deeper into finding good MTR markets, pursing tenants other than travel nurses, property types, scaling operations through systems (my specialty), renovations, etc but it's much harder to do in a thread.
