There isn't much of a VRBO presence here but theres a few chain hotels and many new apartments going in. 

small towns are very hard to lease out if you don't physical presence.

Thank you and God Bless!

Good luck and god speed on your next adventure!

I'm definitely on the hunt for a great deal on a SFH, hopefully and God-willing I will have something this month.

You aren't beaten.The house may cost you everything you've saved and labored to build the last four years, and if you want it to, it can be a distant memory, a life lesson in a very short time.What you are experiencing is a hardship, not a cosmic sign, not a message from God, not a judgement of karma.

Thank you all, and God bless.

@Isaiah FranklinIt would depend on your goals and views on what is a "short-term rental" but I noticed you're from Cincinnati which has a strong healthcare presence/industry. 

For the Love God Stop!  

If I were you, I wouldn't have cold feet...my feet would be just seconds from frostbite.You did absolutely no analysis (1% rule isn't analysis...it's guessing), you're "almost bids" are based on who knows what, and there isn't a number you are using that is set in stone.Yep, I would be thanking God that your feet are cold.
