i guess some of the lp folks are not even care about the actual rental situation because some of the question are really surrounding waterfall only  , while metrics like ltv/dscr/EGI and the suitability of biz plan is not being asked.You’re just full of poor logic and flawed reasoning.

Snowbirds stay for the winter months, so these are annually occurring midterm visitors.  

Ohio and Pennsylvania have lots of older small multifamily that I do think is very suitable to house hack - sometimes you can buy a place with a studio or 1 BR that also has a 3 BR or a 4 BR, you live in the smaller unit and you rent out the larger unit. 

Either way, you want to be close to something that is drawing visitors to the area or you'll likely face too much competition to be profitable in my opinion.  

However, if the unit is not suitable for showings, I'll wait until it's vacant.

Still researching on a suitable broker to work with.

Look at houses maintained by homeowners with this mindset and you'll see how much can be done to repair what you already have and how decent repairs can last a long time and be perfectly suitable especially for a rental and often at a small fraction of the replacement price.

If you have a college in the area you can contact them and see if they take listings to share with visitors.

At the moment, I’m focusing on using a DSCR and finding a suitable locationJoseph, if you have someone in mind, I would be open with speaking with them
