we do have to remember and I know its 10 years ago and many on this site are post GFC investor and know no better.. but were do you think all these deals came from... back in 2010 to 2014  it was not from well performing assets it was from stressed and failed owners. 

Walking score of 95.Pre COVID rental numbers:Monthly gross rent $15,250Cap rate 7.1%Future rental numbers:Estimated Monthly gross rent after current tenants move out $13,950Cap rate 6.5%Because monthly rent looks to be about 20-30% more if you rent by the month, I am considering renting out my duplex for monthly rentals on Airbnb/other sites and potentially for travel nurses (ideal because several hospitals are walking distance to my house).

I don't see it on the Oregon Real Estate site: https://www.oregon.gov/rea/licensing/Pages/licensing.aspx 

Next, arrange a site walkthrough to pinpoint any additional needs or potential challenges.

Rae, I would keep checking the sites including FSBO, FaceBkMarktplace, and driving neighborhoods. 

Based on my experience coaching investors with my husband, who was a realtor many years ago, I strongly advise that, regardless of whom you work with, you meet the team, conduct thorough market research, get an appraisal, schedule an inspection, and also arrange for a site visit.

No, DIY is not the same as a virtual site visit or a study done by engineers @Dana YobstAs @V.G Jason said, you could very likely cost yourself more in time and money.

I used Hostaway for the last year and the they recently snuck in a 1.8% fee for our direct booking site.

That's not exactly an up and coming area -- I'd research who built them - can likely find that by going to the SG County Recorded Docs site or by seeing who pulled the permits during const -- Wichita has been on a duplex building boom -- look at the tax value -- They probably have that or less in it on the build - I also doubt they were built to be quality long term -- things such as the trim/cabinets etc -- they all look like the cheapest stuff a guy could buy - if the cabinets aren't oak and there is MDF or pine trim and pre-hung doors with engineered wood jams I'd run.  2-3 yrs ago for $180k -205 or so you could buy duplexes in Maize, Kechi, Valley center all day to builders that were selling them off to investors - not worth that in that area.

To help support that avatar, try and have on-site parking and ideally a place where a large work truck can be parked without issue (think fully decked out F-350).
