You may also want to check the Columbus OH market - great macroeconomics with lots of job and population growth along with major companies developing here that drive strong rental demand. 

I also went thru a nightmare situation with them for two years. 

STR management is 20-25% (I would recommend self managing or getting a VA), since income is higher you could probably get away with 5% for maintenance / cap ex but remember you need to cover utilities and cleaning for these units which drives up costs.

Or $30,000+ by EOY 2025.If you don't like Bartending, how about being a waiter, busboy, driving for uber, or some other side gig? 

I stay in the basement, I went thru ups & downs like everyone else,  What has worked for me lately is renting to senior men (55+).

Other risks, the contractor walking off the job, a storm hitting and delaying the project for weeks, someone breaking into the home and stealing stuff (which happened just the other day to a client of mine), a squatter, or drunk driver driving into the house (happened a lot at my old job as a firefighter lol).

Class D is mostly rentals (another tip to look at owner occupied stats and/or if the neighborhood is identified for revitalization), the tenants are outside smoking, they are talking to neighbors and solicitors, it is a completely different vibe that is pretty noticeable just driving through.
