Well, closing your account so quickly certainly doesnt help the attemp to network. 

It was a personal referral, received a credit at closing for renovations as well How did you finance this deal?

I attended the RALA 3-day training in Phoenix and took a couple of online courses as well, and while I found these courses to be very valuable in helping get a clearer understanding of the space and what it might take to be successful, I eventually I found it most beneficial to bring in a partner/advisor who has built residential assisted living facilities here in Texas and has been running them successfully.

My client's have been happy with the draw process and response times as well.

It's works most anywhere- but not everywhere that rental real estate works well in. 

My experience with PPR has been consistent with yours, as well as the search to find them.  

We have ownership in 3 STR properties on Beech Mtn as well as one in Blowing Rock. 

As well as utilizing them to market and sell your properties.

STRs work best in tourist-heavy areas with high demand, while LTRs perform well in markets with stable economies and diverse job opportunities.

Not to say you cannot do well, but it’ll take some extra TLC.
