Starting smaller is fine, but the unit has to be spa like or you will likely fall victim to pricing wars or get lost in the booking sites algorithms. 

We will also allow a seller or buyer that already has an agent to connect with users that are using our site as their "agent".

Very few people go to the main page without a destination and dates in mind. 

Look at Listed properties, open houses, for sale by owner (FSBO), wholesalers deals, any on site auctions you can find, and look at as many deals other investors own that they are willing to show you. 

My main advice there is not to DIY things when that will set back your completion date too much -- with so much potential income waiting, those are expensive months!

I hate the cliche saying "marry the house date the rate" but there really is some good advice in there so long as you can comfortably afford the mortgage at todays rate. 

I would probably try to speak with them face-to-face or on the phone and finish the conversation by telling them you will send them a formal letter shortly with the exact date after you talk with your contractor/partner, etc. 

I wouldn't be investing in any new city without spending a lot of time on that site first.
