Coos Bay - The main delay with application in this area is whether the property is on public utilities or has a septic system and private or public water source.

In davidson county most people book an STR to be close to downtown or at least close to somewhere cool as a secondary priority (like 5 points or 12 south for example).If you have an STR in white house it's going to need to make up for location.

My rental condo in Asheville, NC was spared damage from the flood, but when the city finally turned the water back on a few days ago, they somehow overpressurized and blew out a fitting inside a wall. 

Don’t assume that you will have water.

So, generally, they'll talk to you with rose-tinted glasses and have you drink the cool aid.It doesn't mean you can't find a deal though.

The water fell 3 floors, when I observed the incident my neighbor was attempting the sweep water out the back door.   

You said public water was available...would the lots require a septic system to be installed or is public sewer available? 

Why not start with a small turnkey rental property and test the water?

I also like to be set higher than most of my competition because I only buy really cool properties that are sought after.
