If you are looking to work with a STR focused realtor that probably has the most STR sales in the area, is an STR investor himself, has a STR property management company and assists with staging if needed, and can give you a true pulse on the market, I recommend reaching out to @Josh Green.

Hi @Jaycee Greene,Thank you for the warm welcome and the compliment on my name!

Read "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene and follow him on the David Greene podcast.

Cross check your realtor's opinion with your PM's and you are off to a decent start.

Fingers crossed. 

@Cameron Green offering seller financing seems counterintuitive to scaling.

Check out the book "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Hey @Brandon Eike, welcome to the BP Forum! 

I converted it from Google Sheets and I can see a few formatting issues so sorry in advance.The columns with the red header are scenario 1, and the green header are for scenario 2.https://www.dropbox.com/s/gzvdujsmx9b5si9/Mortgage...I hope this finally puts the matter to rest.

I would generally agree with the other posts from @Jonathan Greene, @Drew Sygit, and @Danny Gonzalez, and @Caleb Brown, but something I think would be helpful for you would be to share the profile of a type of property, price point, and the amount of rehab you're willing to do (given your mention of S8 properties) that you are interested in acquiring.
