Quote from @Diana Teng: Hi all,I think my question above is pretty direct.I'm interested to buy my first rental property, and after doing a brief search I see that there are quite a number of places out-of-state (I live in NY state)  that offer affordable homes that deem to be in hot market areas right now (according to many different articles online). 

On-line Auction Foreclosure Website.

Many of these platforms integrate directly with QuickBooks Online, which I use for my clients.

Quote from @Obed Calixte: There are a ton of free tenant applications online and through property management software companies such as turbotenant, rentspree, zillow etc.You will want your application to meet any state specific guidelines (if applicable). 

I think the right investor would do 2 units long term one unit short term. this strategy allows you the greatest flexibility. we are also developing an extended stay hotel that's 58 rooms. the size of the average room in that is 216 square feet and rents for a target $80 per night. our development cost per room is 100k per room with hard construction. the smaller you go the more money you make. if I was to suggest anything it would be to focus on the smaller part of the market and on multiple unit dwellings and finding and identifying markets that meet similar numbers. that will probably be midwest markets.
