We live in Seacoast New Hampshire and would prefer to invest as locally as possible to start.

Ken, I would prefer to do that, but I wasn't sure if any banks would offer that type of loan or line of credit.

I have my (low maintenance)demographic that I prefer to cater to.

I recently used it to generate custom images for my STR coaching Powerpoint material. 

However, without more information on what your preferences are, it is difficult to give you good advice.

It is not an easy thing to run a property when your customers are horrible haha.I recommend student housing with 9 or 10 months lease and run STR during the summer for this property while students are on vacation.

The ones that truly understand it often don't want to be bothered, so, slightly back to one, are assuming that any outreach is bad news, otherwise, let it go.Everyone's preferences are different, but I found sending out a semi-generic email with a link to schedule time with me was the best way to reach the most people, and people that wanted to talk without making them assume something bad was happening.  

Experienced managers can help evaluate potential investments by providing insights on rental demand, market rents, tenant preferences, and location-specific factors that affect leasing success.For example, rental properties need to be close to conveniences like major roads, shopping, and schools.

(I personally prefer $2M/year and I think that cash flow is plenty enough to cover any mortgage risk along the way, but there's no doubt some people would feel more comfortable sticking to the $24,000/year and that's totally cool too!)

It’s hit and miss, really need to deeply understand what they offer, if they will work for you or against you, whether they sign the lease or you (I prefer me, to reduce that lock jn).
