have seen this play with eastern Block women . 

Strong property management and careful tenant placement also play a critical role in success here, so I recommend partnering with a turnkey company or an agent who specializes in these areas to make the process smoother.As for rental demand, homes that sit for extended periods are often the result of issues like pricing, condition, or tenant quality—not necessarily a reflection of the market as a whole.

I will play devil's advocate and mention what kind of properties you may get creatively.

The "high cash flow areas" you speak of are only good on paper, and while they can be if you play everything right and all goes well, I find that is harder than it seems.

Mid term rentals however are another viable strategy for the area should further restrictions come into play.

@Jordan Sachs I can not speak to PA but in MN, yes, I have seen similar scenarios play out. 

We served the second tenant shortly afterwards and once they saw how the other situation played out, my wife was able to work with them to get them out without going through an entire eviction process. 

Playing for cash flow still, but also a little for appreciation and the single families typically dont require as much hands on work on a weekly basis (mowing grass, shoveling snow, etc.)Everybodys niche will be a little different.  

For me, 2- 4 plexus are, most of the time, a cash flow play, and therefore, the ARV is less important in the analysis.

There is much confusion about the 4% and 6% in property taxes.Non owner occupied property is taxed at 6% of the value to get the taxable value.This does NOT mean your actual property tax is 6% of the purchase price for rental property,In reality property taxes are about 2% of the purchase price for rental properties and about 1% of the purchase price for owner occupied properties.Google Greenville County Property Tax estimator and play with it and get a sense of how it works.3.
