If it's a screaming deal, then maybe.

Excellent description .. these are millennial's that are not brain dead and at least  know that renting is just throwing money away.I stumbled onto Charleston SC  6 years ago.. and built the 2nd infill new construction that was built for SFR in the area of America and Aiken st.. prior to that there was not an infill or new build for the last 25 years.. public housing rough area all of that. but LOCATION just screamed of gentrification.. 35 new builds later and price points when i started were 350k for a new build last one I closed was 650k.. 

My recommendation would be to avoid those properties unless they are screaming value

(From what I've seen, summer visitors seem to push small STR occupancies to 90%+ even at the lower end.)

All the states I have looked into allowed this even though the local agents screamed it was illegal but they were wrong.

Usually, REIAs let people attend their general meetings for free on the first visit. Or

Some of the unwashed masses want to drag rising rents kicking and screaming into the wealth inequality "movement" and attempt to also link it to "greedy" landlords who supposedly just want to take advantage of poor tenants.  

Their websits claims to reach over 10 million unique visitors per month - talk about exposure. 

You can always visit (or have someone you trust visit) the property after a month or so of them moving in.

We had an exotic dancer offer to pay 10-months upfront, and she was bragging about how she had like $7K on her now, screams instability if you ask me.
