You're challenge will be finding someone reliable who will pay the rent on time and not cause problems or hassles for you. 

I did my due diligence, but when a company markets itself as a turnkey property expert, they should ensure the property is solid and their affiliates are reliable.

Just make sure they’re reliable and familiar with STR operations.

BUT for certain rural areas it's worth it's weight in gold because of the reliability factor vs an unreliable or expensive existing utility structure. 

they probably have a bunch of 3% nonconforming loans on their balance sheet so 5.5% is not bad, totally reliable payments, plus in a legal battle they'd likely find the power of attorney didn't extend to the ridiculous term and that there was no breach of any enforceable agreement.   

Make sure you’re connected with reliable contractors and property managers who can act as your boots on the ground to keep everything running smoothly.

It's been a struggle for myself to find a reliable one. 

I don't have experience with the Detroit Land Bank, but generally land banks are pretty reliable, but...they are low money buys (from $1 to $1,000) that require you to show proof of funds for the rehab.

This will give you basic, reliable cash flow, without tearing your hair out.

While Redfin isn’t the most reliable source for estimating the values it indicates that I have about 400k in equity.
