I am not sure how a mortgage company can tell that you can not take a promotion at your job someplace else, or buy another home and move into that place, etc.We were in the same situation where we bought a home and months later we had to move again and we turned that him into a vacation rental.

I’d add the gurus you speak of are excellent at self promotion much like other highly successful people in different venues. 

I've got some nice pens and calendars of scantily clad women that I give out to promote my STRs. 

Cash Flow - Contrary to popular belief, it's possible in SD if you find assets that have room to add value.

As long as you promote your properties for rent on the main channels, such as Zillow(One of the best, as it crawls quite a few sources), AZ Republic/AZ Central (Heavily read by many PHX residents), East Valley Tribune, Craigslist (inferior, due to scamming and lack of reach, but still works and free), etc, you will generate a lot of interest.

Are there any generally-shared beliefs out there?

Not promoting any business, just would like other members to see how I analyze properties and gain insight from other members on BP!

Supportive housing gives these residents a permanent home where they can benefit from a combination of affordable, high-quality housing and support services that promote health, housing stability, and individual well-being."

I don't believe in debt anyway so I would go against my own belief if I would do it any other way.

Contrary to popular belief, accountants/CPAs do other things than taxes.
