Since you're interested in MTRs, look for spots near hospitals, universities, or corporate hubs to attract traveling nurses or professionals.

This is why so many people earn large sums of money quickly (lottery, sports, entertainment, etc.) and end up broke.Take Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.

President of the Universe could take a while, the other thing will take a few years, but is not that hard. 

But also Columbia has university of South Carolina and a tier 1 and tier 2 hospital so I would have the option of midterm rentals as well.

There is no universal right or wrong, it's personal, it should be a strategy that enhances your life not takes away from it.

Well, there are two colleges nearby, Delta State and Mississippi Valley but they are about the poorest 4-year public universities in the state and most of the people that go to them are from the Delta. 

Here's what works for me: 1) Posting your property on Facebook Marketplace2) Craigslist3) Talk to local universities or big corporations who may need short or long term housing for their clients4) Property managers are hit or miss.

I went to university in the Midwest many years ago.

It’s also close to Friends University and Newman University.
