Interest rates are often a key concern for real estate investors, as mortgages are often the difference between a cash-flowing deal and a dud.

We have several different "types" of properties to include traditional single family rentals, one multifamily rental, lease to buy options with tenants who hope to buy from us, two short term rentals, and some agricultural farm land that is cash rent. 

You need to be ready to answer your phone any time, it can be 12am on a Sunday or 7am on a Thursday as each client will have different needs.

There are different ways. 

@Kaycie GunnIf you want debt financing hard money or private money lenders will fund with typically 25% down paymentIf you are looking to syndicate and raise money from investors then that is a different animal and you will need to file an sec exemption to raise money and depending on your experience it could be moderately challenging to near impossible.

I've talked to the physicians about why they used apartments.com to find us and most of them have never heard of Furnished Finder because they aren't travelers and they didn't look at Airbnb because they thought it would be too expensive and they didn't want a different place each time they came. 

Safe to assume it is different between "couples" and just roommates.

Or maybe there's a good middle ground to shoot for instead, or even a totally different option.

Is there anything different about managing rentals in these communities compared to any ordinary rental?

Keep exploring different avenues and stay persistent; I'm confident the right opportunity will come along.
