Or did you run some numbers or have some other set of data you're using to come to the conclusion that Westmoreland County is, in fact, an area conducive to being profitable in house hacking?

To be safe, consider starting with standard percentages or slightly reduced figures until you have reliable data on the property’s performance.

I dont know the area, or the county for that matter, whatsoever.I did some preliminary due diligence on Clinton, including 5-year population trends, demographics, rental rates published, and some other region-specific data. 

Has anyone seen data/reports on which platforms prospective tenants gravitate to the most?

So far I don't have enough data to make this analysis useful for more than a handful of brands and state combines, but I like this approach.  

It offers high accuracy with 80-90%+ correct contact data, which is crucial for reaching homeowners.

Historical property data makes it easy to pull the numbers and see how investment property values are growing.

I make sure to be there when the appraiser is visiting the home and print out data on appreciation rates and comps and give him/her a personal opinion on where we believe the home should be appraised at.

If you get a lot of properties it would be fun to have the first tab pulling data for metrics on portfolio performance, monthly cash flow, expenses, etc.
