Combine that with data from airdna and you will be setting yourself up for success. 

@Dean Kaeo have you seen that thing where you combine pop rocks and coke . . .

I am most likely going to do a combination of private financing and hard money lenders. 

That combined with tactical empathy are extremely powerful skills to have.

This is why cpa/jd is such a powerful combination.

So you'd be looking at high potential rental income, cheap properties or, even better a combination of the two.That prime candidates would be:Mexico and the Dominican Republic: cheap properties, mass tourism, occupancy all year long, closeness to North America, direct flights from North America, the US and increasingly Asia, strong international and domestic tourism and tourists coming from diverse locations.Southern Europe (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece): properties aren't necessarily that cheap (some are) but you have mass tourism there as well.Then you have secondary markets like Colombia or Brazil.

Even if you have some really sweet tools that could be really time consuming.For me, if it’s a multifamily, I use price per unit, combined with rent to value ratio.I know most MF I’d be willing to pay $30k-$50k max per unit.

If you combine the consistent track record of growth and projected growth based on future developments in the area, Austin is a tough market to beat.  

I don't know what type of rentals you had, but the combination of a 'cheap' property and poor PM, is a recipe for a disaster.
