I started investing in rental properties in the Scranton area around  6 months ago, and I also just started doing Fix & Flips in the surrounding areas Olyphant, and Taylor, Old Forge. and I would love to ask if you are doing in this area please share your success stories in that area, I am really curious if people have seen success in this cheap market, and let's help each other with info,  I would love to hear from you, and help you with the knowledge that I gathered in this 6 months.Thank you  I would love to hear from you.

It will also give you a ton of results of super cheap homes in very small towns across the Midwest.

The target demographic for MTRs is traveling nurses.

Luckily this was a super cheap property so I could afford the additional down payment.

It's a former adult care home, so the layout is shared bathrooms, and this would allow me to not have to change the plumbing layout while offering a competitive price-point and unique experience to travelers.

Hi Mike,I don't know the specific answer to your question, but the dirt cheap bare minimum 'online' brokerage that I've seen a lot of people use, after spinning their wheels and doing a bunch of research, is these guys.To align expectations: you get what you pay for, which in your case may end up being 100% perfectly fine.

Sure there is some interest expense involved but you are getting the time value of money pretty cheap at today's sub 4% mortgages.And this scheme is trapping your hard earned after tax money into an illiquid asset. 

Cheap rates and modern tech are great, but none of that matters if they can't actually get you to the closing table.

If you're looking to buy a cheap property there, be very careful. 

As Kevin points out, traveling nurses make good money, and their employer pays for their housing.
