You will have to play with the cutoff and decide for yourself.Once you have the edited list of towns with great growth and big enough population, then visit www.city-data.com and filter out cities with high poverty (More than 20%) and High Crime Index (Index greater than 300).

Nearly $700k, from $50k, leaves a hell of a lot of breathing room for a stove or washer ever so odd often. 

I aim for the lowest nightly rate possible, as that’s a major filter for users searching.

Deep breath.

@Jeff Young I’m sure you breathed a sigh of relief hitting the post button!!

You need to figure out how they underwrite deals and send properties after you have taken them through that filter.

Things that made the difference on this one:1) Cheap purchase price2) Needed repairs were done up front3) Tooting my own horn a little - I put in good tenants4) When something breaks, we get it fixed asap - this helps keep good tenants, reducing turnover 5) Owners invest in quarterly air filter and annual HVAC service, which helps prevent costly HVAC repairs.
