I'm also seeing lots of homes for sale that were used as Airbnbs, so I'm wondering if that along with these numbers may indicate it's an overly saturated market, and if these are signs that maybe I should keep searching for a stronger market, or just a property that cash flows given the average annual revenue?

I can keep going but these are a few of the basics...

@Scott Stamps  I'm skeptical of many of these programs but for sure I'd pass on any 'guru' programs where they are struggling to keep their own deals afloat, as ODC is. 

Keep in mind it is a risk and speculation, if something happens(market tanks, job loss, etc) then you will be out money.

Normally, companies keep changing their name after losing all investor’s money.

Alternatively, I could explore loan recasting, where the lender recalculates my monthly payment based on the reduced principal, keeping the original loan term intact.

Keep in mind, you can’t use personal funds or your home's equity to directly fund the SDIRA investment, and all property expenses must be paid from the IRA.

I buy homes as a primary residence with 5% down and move into them keeping my previous as a rental and the area that I live doesn't have new builds that would work for us, otherwise I would buy a new build. 

You have to keep up with rent trends or tough it out and wait for hopefully a stronger rental market this spring.   

Keep in mind that they can increase that period if they get complains from the community, so make sure you're in good relationship with your neighbors.
