@Andrew ThomasSorry you I was shift my focus from purchasing my personal residence to purchasing my first investment property as a realtor you should have access to a program called realist you can easily go in there and search for out-of-state or out of County owners one of the best ways to Market is handwritten envelopes it is almost a guaranteed open versus any other kind of marketing realist has so much information how long people have owned the property with their mortgages Etc I would also try to find as many wholesalers as possible and sign up for their list and look at how they are packaging their properties you will need to go and join some investment clubs a national Club you could potentially join is called Lifestyles Unlimited I'm sure the information they teach is also available on Bigger Pockets at the end of the day if you have a great deal you will always be able to find an investor for it

I have a rental in a large lot - easily enough to subdivide to 2 parcels, plus the house sits at the edge of the lot.

I easily solved the problem, entered a 3 year lease with a tenant that provided me with a 20% Annual yield on my invested capital (purchased the property for cash).  

Should be fully upfront and aim for a property that could work just as easily as a standard single family rental too

Someone with a good shop vac that has a long hose can get it cleaned out pretty easily. 

It is very easy to sync. yes, the 2 companies do sync calendars, pretty easily How do you sync?

There are at least 3 or 4 people who have courses on it so it is a real thing.It is closer to STR that LTR because they are always furnished and can easily be converted to STR if you have a gap in bookings.

A strong local agent can tell you what the approximate value is easily and quickly. 

You can easily handle the guest communication, especially if you use a PMS like Hospitable or similar that has canned message responses, and AI integration. 

You can easily do this on a spreadsheet, and it will take less time to track than finding and learning new software.
