The rest, put you on near-worthless drip campaigns, don't understand calculating the offer price based upon rents - property taxes - insurance - MNT & Vacancy percentages, etc.DM @James Wise to schedule a chat with him!

If you are specifically targeting travel nurses, it will benefit greatly if the home is near a hospital. 

I know the seacoast of NH has been mentioned here but I wanted to point out a few options that could be considered.Hampton, a popular coastal town, has strong demand for multifamily units near the beach and a robust short-term rental market, especially in summer.

I'd like to add another SFH to the business  in the near future with the main goal being grow the business as fast as possible. 

Your property is fairly destruction proof, costs near nothing to maintain, yet you can charge above market rents.If your property is nicer (class B) where the carpet alone might be $6k or more to replace when the tenant spills hair dye everywhere, you won't be as happy as in the situation above.  

I have not yet but I am planning to look into it for a client in the near future.

Sure you could hit a grand slam , once or twice in your life , but constant base hits bring in the same amount of runs on a steady basis 

I will add that you definitely do not need to be near your investments, but it makes things a lot easier when you first start off. 

I live near a local college and this is in the East Bay Area, CA.

Consider financing options like hard money loans, or FHA loans for house hacking, and focus on areas with strong rental demand near the MA/NH border.
