Quote from @John Williams: You just picked a new market to invest in.

I have STR investors in Florida making 25% cash on cash returns, long term rental investors picking up properties directly off the MLS and cash flowing day 1 in various states, and house hackers completely removing their housing payment from the picture allowing them to save for for the next property.The beautiful thing about real estate is there are so many ways to succeed and a plethora of strategies depending on your comfort level and how active you want to be.

Inventory is scarce, rights are high.You should definitely pick a market you know and can go to. 

There are the self service options as well as drop off and pick up options.

This just have to pick a market with a draw and being renovated.
