Taxes also factor into the home and something you can check online so you know exactly what that expense is going to be every month.

In a  hot market for rental, I would consider not applying the vacancy rate when buying, but we have a plethora of rental housing coming online soon or already have competing with each other in this market, so I'm trying to be conservative when buying.

I've not and am not buying now because I'm traveling, but I've heard about the town's growth on and off for a few years as well as Goodnight's backing of Chatham Park, a major project which it seems the locals resist because it will turn a small town into a bigger one. 

He is a good guy and has been in the business a long time and has worked all the major gas station brands out there.

I read online bios on industry pros that started with one hotel and now run management/investment companies with 30 hotels across 9 nine states, etc.  

Obviously there are some pretty major pros and cons with a tenant who has been their that long.

Im ok with online, theres just a lot to pick from.

You want to make sure they're completely familiar with the entire process, because the underwriting is a major pain.

@Andrew Newlon:  For me or others to better answer your question, we would need to know what current marketing you have in place, online and offline.  

How serious are you about online marketing?
