Thanks for the replying @Shiloh Lundahl, here’s what I’m looking for: good areas to invest, good resources to find properties, general information about the buying process, any realtors and other locals that can help, and expected returns in the area for STR.

Can you do this where you are or do you need to look out of your local area? 

A knowledgeable broker can help navigate these changes and find the right coverage for your property.

Hi, Based on my knowledge I don't think a three bedroom two beds will go for 2 K A month But I'm not sure, maybe it depends which zip, And the condition of the property as well.

Quote from @Edward Barrett: New investor here trying to stay in my local market (Dayton, OH).Since I've started looking for my first deal I've come across a few section 8 properties that seem to pencil, but I'm a bit loath to jump into that kind of deal.

Thanks,Chad Otsuji If you need to close in two weeks a local mortgage company is probably out of the running.

Otherwise, just go through all the local/regional banks.   

When considering single-family homes (SFH) or small multifamily properties, it’s important to analyze rental demand, local property values, and rental rates to ensure you’re getting strong cash flow potential.

Everything I am learning about mentions Local.

I am a very active realtor in both the Kansas and Missouri side of the CASEY metro, and I frequently work with local and out-of-state investors, helping folks find small multi as well as STR compatible homes.
