My wife is about to sign up for some travel nurse site that is tailored to that community for STR use.

Real estate in any form simply is not that complicated and you would spend less just paying an attorney by the hour to fill in the holes for you or  a really good RE broker.

Thanks Ian, I was looking at your site yesterday.

2) If not, is there another way to run the comps on a similar site?

Leading up to the deed in lieu, we performed our own site visits and the conditions we observed do not align with the information in the inspection reports.

There are books available on this site about property management and also a good book you might want to read is Property management for dummies.In Florida a big alligator on Real estate can be the insurance costs, and roof replacements.So talking to an insurance person about these things, which may have different costs in different cities, would be an intelligent thing to do.You will need a lender to make the loan.

Has anyone on the site performed a transaction that required it? 

This will define for us what size of land we will be targeting, what unit compilation we are looking at doing which helps define some of our cost outlay and we will have an idea of market pricing capacity so from this we can formulate a generalized range of acceptable site development costs which then empowers us to know; what kind of land are we looking for, in what area, what's an acceptable price range to delve further...... 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.
