A motivated nosey neighbor might try to make an appt to see the property, but in general that doesn't happen too often and agents don't want to waste their time with time-wasters like that.

You will see there are others just like you trying to do what you want to do.

This is something I have been trying to understand. 

I would try to verify the negative information and if in fact true, then it would be a pass for me.

I think it will hurt you in that you'll be too forgiving of people, try to make friends with the college kids your renting to or keep bringing it up all the time. 

I see 3-5 as a fad.Fractional ownership - way to much overhead for these to be profitable. think "timeshare".STR in non traditional markets - running a STR is a business and real estate, boils down to location location location - who would want to go to a conference and stay in a STR vs. the hotel where the conference is at, most businesses pay for this I do not see why.Mixed use with green - this has been going on for years- it will continue but it is also more expensive to build - which means higher costs to use.Not trying to be debbie downer, I have seen these attempted to be done in the past and they really have not been successful.I do really like the BTR model though as I continue to see that as a very good option in the future. 

I did try to set up a property management software for collections but as I live in a rural area received a TON of pushback from my tenants about sending money over an App they were not familiar with.

Trying to make it where there is a lot of data, easy to use, and have a lot of articles written by local experts.

I'm leery of high leverage until I get my feet under me and some experience, so I'm aiming at smaller deals to learn the process before trying to hit a home run.

Clear out that line of credit and finish the apartment and move on to flips and try to focus on short term money and my business because I already have a couple of rentals set up for long term wealth.
