Folks just drink the cool aid of guaranteed rent..

I keep portable AC units for tenants to borrow, so are using one of those to cool the bedroom.I have at least 20 trees down at one property with land and they missed the house but landed on my storage building. 

You can also often get some pretty cool loans by being an owner occupant as well! 

I would suggest using this website to get a general idea of the locations you are interested in. https://www.areavibes.com/Its pretty cool because they give you a total livability score and you can just see the different data that they give you

Looking at all the cool air bnbs I know it may be tough to succeed.

NewBo brought some much-needed life to that area and dare I say, made it a bit cool? 

The cool thing about the RE community is that everybody is willing to teach.

(And of course, I don't rent just to nurses, as discriminating on the basis of income source would be illegal and not cool.

Basically it will tell you the demand, pretty cool tool.

I have a W2 and other investment income, so it isn't like I am dependent on it, but just a cool milestone in the back of my mind.
