My advice is to stop listening to the people you overheard. 

It's in the country so people looking in that area generally want peace and quiet.

People are always wanting to share success stories or failures to help teach someone. 

We were able to get seller credit to help off-set the cost, but now we have heard of some people getting a free roof with the installation of solar.

Some of those can be good, but most are just regurgitated versions of other people's courses.If you want to be successful in real estate investing, start with transparency.If you are a new investor, use it to your advantage.

Some leases are very rudimentary, some appear to be copies of copies written years ago, a lot of people like to add additional provisions.

Does that mean that I can only rent the place out to people that share the same finances?

Hi @Raechel ClevengerOne thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.

This is a great place to learn and to meet people so take advantage of all the great resources. 

Was like most people who get into STR deals, wanted higher return.
