If looking to only do it for yourself no need to pay out big splits or have desk fees, instead there are a few flat fee per a transaction with no monthly fee style brokerages.

Its all about the style and amenities in BR right now.

Right now I am concentrating on a single style (LTR small multi in CT) and a catastrophic event here would frankly put me out of business. 

Occasionally you can buy a side-by-side, which offers a very different life style, as you don't hear your neighbor walking around upstairs. 

See what $ homes are selling for and in what area, condition, style etc.

We tried to do the showings open house style, "I'll be there 10-noon today and 2-4pm tomorrow, stop by."

I did STR in a duplex starting back in 2017 and managed for others in North Conway, Ive since converted to all long term tenants and happy i did so... unless your property has something unique or a "rare" amenity.... like, sleeps 30, I honestly would not waste any energy on it in the north Conway area. so saturated, and so much big money being invested in the hotels, its tough to match amenities vs cost, and I see travelers trending back towards the hotel style accommodations. granted, for the right price, I'd buy anything and figure out what the best use for it is. use airdna.co for decent data on # of Short term rentals in any particular market. can also identify opportunities. the point of my response.... be careful in STR in any area and always have a plan B. you can change a lot of things about a property, but your cant change your basis!

My fiancé and I are looking to build a 3-4 unit townhome style multifamily in the Knoxville area.
