I contacted Buildium and they confirmed they do not offer credit card tracking, but offered a workaround which was to set up a credit card as a bank account, and when there is a balance it's just always negative in the bank account, and this would allow you to track individual purchases like it was a checking account.  

Depending on local regulations, you can mix up STR/MTR/LTR. 2) Get systems in place in those exact cities; 2 PMs preferably via NARPM, 2 high quality inspectors, and rotating book of handyman, 1 lawyer, and a credit union contact for leverage along with investor friendly nationwide lenders.

With rates in constant flux, you might have opportunities to lock in lower ones.

Rates will range from Prime (currently at 7.5%) to Prime + 4% (11.5%).

Average rental rates, vacancies, competition, growth, appreciation, etc..Ive heard of scrolling through Zillow and collecting information by looking at properties for sale/rent but was wondering if there is a site where all of this information is easily accessible or any ideas for better ways to go about it.Thanks in advance!

Often times, if they come in through VRBO or AirBNB, they are looking to get something at below market rates or market.

Given the lack of activity / buyers in the market at this time with rates, would you reccomend holding and renting it until the market is better to sell in? 

You used to easily be able to do this with 2 unit properties, but with prices and rates today it's hard to make this work anymore, unfortunately.

If you aren't going to be living in CR full time as you try to execute the deal I do not think it is physically possible for you to obtain a loan from Scotia Bank and not worth your time to try because the rates are so high. 

It is a violation of the HAP contract to charge more rent for voucher recipients than market rate tenants.
