I feel they typically attract longer term tenants that want to make it a home.

Thanks @Joshua Janus, so far it’s only attracted a few of our friends and family.

It works well and I think helps attract tenants (lower vacancy).

Clients preferred a ready to rent property because of busy W-2 jobs and were really focused on areas where they could attract top flight tenants.

Find an expert, such as Thomas.I wouldn't recommend it to get into your first property as there are much better 0 down strategies out there that can equally produce an infinite return while not requiring you to tie up any of your own capital.If implemented correctly, it can generate great wealth for generations.

For all the clients I'm advising on new purchases we're targeting 20% COC after all expenses, including my management fee.We are looking for turnkey SFRs with at least 3-bedrooms, and specifically shifting focus to more vacation-y areas, although there are still some attractive opportunities in and around Cleveland. 

Sedona is attractive at first glance but it has developed a reputation as a crystal shop, pink jeep, airy-fairy tourist town.

If that option isn't attractive to you, a lender could definitely still underwrite and put together a loan package for all of them as a commercial loan. 

Also make the home look like you did when you were trying to attract buyers....lights on, blinds open, no pets, easy access, etc.

Financing a property as an owner-occupant and later turning it into an income producing property is a great way to get started.
