I'm looking to finance the project long term in a way that is helps me create positive cashflow.

I am excited to get started investing in real estate in out of state Long Term Rentals.Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my kids, as well as mountain biking and other outdoor adventure activities.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

What about refinancing  costs or what ever costs that occurs at the end of the loan term?

A good property manager can help with tenant screening, enforce lease terms, and handle evictions more efficiently if it comes to that.Require a Larger Security Deposit: Within the bounds of local regulations, a larger deposit can provide a cushion in case of damage or unpaid rent.Consider Rent Guarantee Insurance: Some companies offer insurance products that can cover lost rent in case of tenant default.

RentRedi is perfect for applications and background checks (you can also set clear lease terms and automate rent collection through RentRedi).

LoL So really trying to learn what I can, gain some capital, and see what my options could be for the year.I'd like turnkey and long term renters in place, as that seems like a good way to get started as a rookie. 

I wouldn't have any problems paying an agent under terms like this for their service(s). 

For example, a property in San Diego may lose $500 per month ($6,000 per year) but gain $60,000 per year in value, making it worthwhile to "lose" money each month in exchange for long-term gains.I recommend you start with BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide (free).

What are your Loan terms and P/I relative to the cashflow after taxes?

Quote from @Andrew Lawlor: I've been actively investing in short-term rental properties for the past three years, managing one live property and another that will go live in two months.
