@Jesse Strengunfortunately I’m not familiar with property managers in that location what I would suggest is I would look up NARPM and start with them..Below are some questions I would think would be a good starting point for you to see who really treats their company like a business or a hobby.My business partner is a regional VP for NARPM and I am happy to help if you need anything please reach outQuestions to Ask prospective management companies* What are your average days on market for vacant homes?

Strong regional/PE owned tenants.

Most land buyers who are developers usually stick to a very predefined region within their local market and they hunt and wait for killer deals and market swings to get the land they want for the very specific purpose they want.

Desirable location both locally and regionally.6.  

I have three listings, 1. unit with a pool and hot tub, 2. unit with a hot tub, 3. both units together as a 12 sleeper.Gross monthly income (after booking channel fees) for the first unit over a 7 month period was $7309.Gross monthly income for both units over a 14 month period is $11,297 (after booking channel fees) As a long term rental the combined rent would be in the region of $5500.Is it possible to sell the property based on the income generated by the STR business or would the value always be based on bricks and mortar comps? 

Places with strong population and job growth (think the Sunbelt regions or emerging Midwestern cities) can offer solid cash flow and long-term appreciation. 

Later on, I found out they appeared to be committing fraud and doing illegal stuff.I believe the seller is a plague on the local community, especially since it isn’t an affluent region, lots of the residents live paycheck to paycheck, numerous people complained about being ripped off.

Would real estate prices in certain regions rise rapidly due to demand from both local and international buyers? 

An example in my experience would be a local/regional foundation with a mission that is aligned directly or indirectly with Affordable Housing AND a longer-term investment horizon with less of a focus on the financial return and more on the "social" return for the community.

The shaded regions represent periods of QE (QE1, QE2, and QE3), during which interest rates generally declined or remained low.
