When I was looking to refi a few months ago, I wasn't satisfied with all the red tape, added costs, and rates of my bank, so I kept exploring.

Where should I explore?

I am in the process of hiring a property management company as I am moving out of state 12 hours away, I am in a unique rural area where it is impossible to find a larger company, basically have to use individuals (normally real estate agents) who manage a few properties here and there or own their own.  

There are other ways to invest in this market that I am exploring but I am also not opposed to investing in STR in out-of-state markets because of the potential for very high cash flow.

tks a lot @Charles Carillo, I would appreciate if you introduce me to some lenders so I can start exploring possibilities. 

From what I can tell the two vehicles I'm most interested in are going to be wholesale and flipping.If you happen to be from a small town like me I would love to hear from you about how it has created unique challenges for you in your real estate career so far.Looking forward to meeting you!

If you want something different and unique they are a fun/challenging medium to work with.

I've been interested in short term rentals for a while and this looks like a unique property.

@Huy Pham is the house unique, weird, has a lack of parking, is in a bad area, or have small rooms?
