I'm sure I could go to some midwest markets or even some more depressed markets in my region and get better pricing, but that's out of my wheelhouse at this point in my life as I have no desire to learn new markets when I'm closer to the end than the beginning. .Sure, obvious but over looked.

Check out PropertyRadar, similar pricing as Propstream but I found it to be better for pulling lists for vacant land.

Happy to send over some referrals - some are better for big rehabs vs small cosmetic vs subcontractor only projects.

I have found that they worked really well when it comes to getting better tenants and better rents, and having less hassle, less headaches, and then getting a higher sales price; without paying closing costs or realtor fees.

But, she wanted a better retirement than we were on course for. 

We cut that cost in half by training and certifying people on our team and it created a better experience overall. 

STR seems to have better tax benefits (in the right market) but is it worth it at a distance ???

Consider a market that you visit often, have family in, went to college at, spent time in the past.You will have a better sense of what the good / bad parts of town are compared to a city you never visited.Best of Luck!

I will look into these elements for this property to get a better understanding of what my options are.

Sooner the better of course.
