Go to some real estate meetups/ask friends who they used to buy a house or duplex where you're at, meet some agents and try to narrow down to one that you feel comfortable working with, wouldn't mind having to go and look at places with.

In addition to comfort and confidence to manage close by and local knowledge.

You'll have to find your comfort level on how you want to manage it.  

The more comfortable you have to live, the worst the numbers will be. 

A lot of these southern beach & mountain towns have been supporting STR for 75+ years, long before Airbnb was a thing, so they’re very comfortable with it and it’s a built-in part of the community.A lot of Northern places are FREAKING OUT over STRs & STR regulations & they don’t seem to be very supportive of it.

My target purchase price is no more than $410K, aiming for an ARV in the $530K to $570K range.I'm comfortable with small to medium-sized renovations that don't require major structural changes or additional square footage.

It's all about what your comfortable with @Joe P.As @Todd Dexheimer mentions, get on a few more lists, research the sponsors you are interested in that meet your criteria. 

. - Are you okay pushing more and having to re-lease the unit, or would you strongly prefer not to have to do that and give up more on cash flow- What do you personally feel comfortable increasing the rent for? 

I would be coming in through an LLC, so feel comfortable with liability protection as it relates to other assets, but still, will be on title, so there is exposure.As a real estate guy I'm still in growth mode and am having a hard time swallowing the dst pill. 

Once you're comfortable, you can move on to BRRRR deals.
