But me and my clients have had great success with MTRs here in Temple, TX - its about the only thing cash flowing well in my market right now. 

I have all kinds of specific searches set up for my investor clients to help find the best deals. 

I am working with a client looking to do this.

I have gotten two very good clients that way.. this way I dont spend a dime on marketing they come to me :)

It would be possible in other ways like a lot of hot client leads but anything other than that will probably be specific to what that agent needs.

I have a list of PM's my clients work with in Cincinnati I can share.

Would it be wise to use a HELOC on our current residence to use for a down payment on a new propertyHi David, as someone who works with a lot of OOS investors, I would let you know that most of the clients I work with have never physically visited when buying their first investment property - the most important thing is working with a great investor agent and doing proper due diligence.

Being a remote location might already limit client base.

HI @Eric AndersenI have had some past clients who now have STR/MTR Airbnb's in Fort Worth.

I lived in LA for a decade and we have many friends, family, clients and community members suffering and send our sincerest condolences to all of those experiencing and affected this tragedy.
