It's been so bad here, that I bought an STR in Indiana with another business partner in 2024 because there are minimal opportunities here - unless you have the ability and budget to extensively source off market properties here.  

Renovated in 2023, annual gross rents $144k + utilities.

Purchase price: $302,500 Cash invested: $5,000 Utilized VA Loan for a House Hack for my first Rental Property.

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

I cant imagine that renters would rent a place and not want to utilize the garage.

For example, what is the monthly revenue for the property and what are the "All In" expenses, including mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, etc...

But I recommend you study it much more extensively before diving in. 

If it's the difference between $1800 and $2200 but you have to cover utilities too, not worth it. 

Thank you again for your response and insight.I have most luck utilizing the local MLS for minimum 6 month leases under furnished rentals  

Typically the more extensive the rehab the higher the value add.
