We are out of state but would be open to working with someone local if they can offer favorable terms.2) Any local realtors you have worked with and been happy with?

I put forth effort to keep my RE investment significantly leveraged.  

Moreover, it allows you to set the terms of the lease agreement according to your preferences, which can help prevent misunderstandings and disputes in the future. 

Anyone can do it just like anyone can flip a house or run a short-term rental.

I’m finding a hard time finding comps for a long term rental.

Is the mid term rental business that you have a 'rental arbitrage' business?

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

We have sold (tax free), kept as long term and/or short term rentals as well.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

Our combined efforts made the property appealing to buyers, leading to a successful sale at $99,000.
