AirDNA is a great tool, but I tend to find it slightly underwhelming, like @Wayde Hall mentioned for unique properties.

I don't know.All of the other small towns you mentioned are in the same county as Blue Ridge except for Cherry Log. 

She was under contract with a wholesaler to purchase a property in SC and every title company she called said they would not close the transaction--for the same reasons you mentioned.

I also believe part of my “firing” was due to the fact that on the phone with her she mentioned how the lease renewal fee paid to her was less than what it should have been due to entry error by the person who entered the contract.I also received an invoice for $2700 for painting that was done TO ANOTHER HOUSE THATS NOT MINE!

With your research that I mentioned above, make the choice where you feel the most confident with supporting evidence.

However, since you mentioned this is a mid-term rental strategy, make sure to factor in vacancy rates, seasonal demand, and potential furnishing costs, which can be higher than long-term rentals.What you may also want to consider:Exit Strategy: If rates don’t drop within 12-18 months for your refi, what will your backup plan look like?

I joined J&G for a lot of the same reasons already mentioned, but the biggest one was I felt that they were genuinely interested in my success as a student.

Hi Samuel,When considering how to pay off a loan faster, both methods you've mentioned—making a large principal payment at the end of each year versus bi-weekly payments—can be effective, but they operate differently.Large Principal Payments: Making a large payment once a year can significantly reduce your principal, leading to lower interest costs over the life of the loan.
