It’s worked out well, but just make sure the tour is detailed and you don’t miss any aspects of the house that the tenant will feel like they need to see. 

Do you care to share your methods for defining "Landlord friendly"?

I am completely disconnected from all aspects of managing the property, which is a beautiful thing!

@Christopher Olson please define, "multi-unit"!

Would recommend better defining your target market, property type and price range, so we can offer better advice.

As for the purchase part, definately going to repeat the recommendation from @Joe Funari of finding an agent that is also an investor and I would also encourage you to look at the property through the eyes of an investor. 

Sounds like you answered your own question in a sense, as you defined your strategy.  

I think maybe I might’ve mixed up my definition of rural after watching a BiggerPockets rookie YouTube episode where they define rural as a town of around 5000 population.

One way to learn about some specific aspects of real estate is to get a part-time job at RE related industry, like property management company, book-keeping, financing, virtual assistant, anything you can have time to get into along with your schoolwork, even if you have to do it for free. 

Without going into detail, I cashflow $550 per month on this house.When her lease is up, I do want to increase her rent by 100-200 but to be honest, the human aspect of me is battling with the business side of me.
