However, the entitlement is based on your remaining entitlement and the county loan maximum where the property is being purchased.

If you want to find someplace to land pick it based on environment/people. 

I am based in Virginia and licensing requirements here seem manageable.

Loan seasoning requirements are usually based on the note date and the loan purpose, like cashout refi. 

That affects your loan amount and then principal & interest payment.2) Estimate rents based on recent rental comps3) Account for all operating expenses such as property taxes, insurance, repairs & maintenance (landscaping, snow removal, cleaning etc), property management (if applicable), vacancy, utilities (what does the tenant pay vs what you would pay?)

I find a lot of books and articles give the perfect scenario or the absolute horrific situation to get eyeballs.You will not have to perform at a level 10 consistently (10 meaning demanding). 

Unfortunately, from a STR prospective it seems like there is less opportunity based on supply/demand and current home prices in the immediate area.

Based on this experience, I feel I have a fair sense of what pricing should look like.Do you have any supplemental carriers you’d recommend?

I adjust pricing based on demand, like raising rates during peak season or local events, and lowering them in slower months to stay competitive.
