It seems you and your husband have the ability to make a property more desirable and I would try to stay local for the same reasons you listed. 

Stay away from these guys.

If you're just getting started, stay local.

Hello everyone my name is Omar I’m 24 ,just recently came across wholesaling  and I started doing some research on it and it seem like it’s the best option for me now to get my foot on the door and eventually start doing flips down the road. since I’m new to wholesaling and barely know anything about it what books, YouTube chancel, podcasts, even a course that might help me get on track and learn the fundamental of wholesaling.I always come across some type of strategy of real estate that I might consider to pursue but I never end up staying consistent and taking action but my goal is just to learn about wholesaling and find a way to take action now.

Short term rentals are legal when the host is living in the same apartment as the guests and there are no more than 2 guests staying with the host."

I have a couple of friends who have several rental units in Gettysburg and said the rents are good and he has many professionals who stay for a good amount of time and pay on time.  

That said it is possible that you need to evaluate your stays and decide if it is worth taking shorter stays or sticking to some longer stays to reduce your time commitment and maximize the revenue for time invested.

while leaving with happy tenants who will stay!

I'd recommend staying within 10-15% of the median priced home because that's where the most demand will be not only for renters but owner occupants as well. 

Stability: Homeowners tend to stay in their homes longer than renters, which can create a more stable environment for families and children.
