I don't see many of these in Amarillo....but not there very often and don't pay that close attention.If it is, maybe you could really specialize...and as someone else said if you have truck parking....rent to truckers for the night....or if you are close to Route 66 rent to bike riders passing thru....or focus on any of the other specialties in your area....like including spray paint for the Cadillac Ranch, or balloons if they want to visit the Helium museum...or cool things like that. 

I think that route should be taken if it's clear the tenant has "abandoned" those possessions.

If I were you, building a trusted network of local fix and flippers is the route to go long term.

We choose not to go the PM route because the job is easy enough that we don’t like to give away the money to the PMs… who are glad to spend your money without s second thought.  

I've heard asking for a pre-qualification might be a good route, as it won't hit our credit (as compared to a pre-approval).

My family is routed here.

The other route is to list it on MLS and have the family pay the brokers fee which approx. $15k. 

Many without much cash to actually invest and buy properties start with the wholesale route. 

If you've already bought the home using your personal name and are not using a commercial loan then it is probably too late to go the LLC route anyway. 

In addition, I would recommend the short-term rental route especially from a tourism standpoint - run the numbers via a site such as AirDNA and compare that projected income to a long-term lease but it sounds like you would get a much greater return as an AirBNB, VRBO, etc.
