., @Jay Hinrichs and @V.G Jason have done an excellent job of laying out a flaw in your thinking, and I will take it a couple of points further.1.

Excellant job and excellant post highlighting specifically what worked for you and how you went about doing it.

You can mitigate almost all of the risk by just hiring an excellent property manager. 

Vrbo has free price automation software.I use Excel for book keeping.I don't pay for any third party software, not really needed on 1 or 2 properties.I charge a little extra for cleaning fee than actual cleaning costs.

Tenants pay with Zelle, PayPal etc.Only takes me a few minutes per month to put in Excel.  

This Meadowbrook Dr SE property presented an excellent opportunity due to its favorable location and untapped potential.

Milton and Farmington can be excellent choices, too, often with more budget-friendly options and the chance to add value in less saturated areas, might have better cash flow luck here.For lenders and agents, I'd recommend networking with those who have experience specifically in the NH Seacoast markets since these towns can vary in terms of tenant demographics and rental demands.

If you are offering excellent services, you'll win and your clients will win too. 

@Matt Wan you've received some excellent advise here.

Excellent insight showing just how ridiculous this “don’t need capital, just drive for dollars” nonsense is.
