Given the expected appreciation, what is your expected total return if you hold it over the next 5 years.Can you cover the large negative cash flow, turnover costs and maintenance from other sources?

You could also consider sourcing an inexpensive used vehicle as opposed to something new.

Lots are just drawn to the low purchase prices, and buy based solely on price. 

I suggest you find other sources of income or partner on deals to grow your real estate portfolio.  

While I am always looking for off-market, as an agent with access to MLS, that's my primary source of looking for deals right now. 

-> Regarding the short / long term rentals:- short term: tourism is one of the main sources of income of the country and therefore has lots of potential.

They are full size and yet still run off 120v and just need a water source and drain. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

FF isn't the only source, of course, but it is one of the most well know.

Have also used list source and prop stream before but the data they provide is very similar to what I pull off the tax records through CRS Tax.
