If there is a hospital nearby this place, you could turn it into a MTR for travel nurses.

You should self-manage to learn if you are nearby.

On the flip side, we are contemplating focusing on areas closer to bigger cities nearby (less than a hour drive) that would allow for a more steady LTR investment with monthly cash flow and decent appreciation.

There are some 3/2 rehabs for sale in the 190s nearby that comp well, but will keep my fingers crossed you have a speedy sale.

I followed a three-tiered system to determine the ARV:T1: Stay within one-miles radius, sold for fewer than six-months.T2: Size of the properties are within 200 sqft., must share certain attributes (bedrooms, bathroom, etc.).T3: Compare property typeI came to the result of above 200k and am looking for advice/comments from experienced investors on my decision.

In general, it is always good to look at the taxable value every year for your property while you still own it when the tax statement comes.If you feel you can support a lower taxable value with sold comparables that are like your property nearby, then it is worth your time to try to dispute the value.It is true there is a very short timeframe to schedule a time to go in and dispute the taxable value with your local property tax assessor usually and the deadline is printed on the annual tax statement.The reality is real estate does not always go up in value.To your success!
