Central Air.

I went today to check on the performance of the repaired unit and it was running (tenant used it from 9am - 5pm today) and the apartment was cooler and cooler air was blowing, but the temp inside the unit (500 sq ft studio) was still hovering around 75 degrees F, which still seems warm.

Would attract buyers from Shaw Air Force Base (23 miles away) and McEntire National Guard Base (7 miles).No recent comps.

Bottom line is that the little guys (Air BNB) have been taking market share from the big guys (hotels and resorts).

Everyone knows RE is local. what looks good from the air may not show the whole picture.

Floors 10 years life span(carpet only 5), appliances and hot water heater 12 year life span, hvac 20 year life span, bath and kitchen remodel 20 year life span, etc. 

A cash offer will always be more attractive to a seller than a financed offer, so in a hot market, having cash is definitely an advantage.Beyond that, if you have the cash, I like using cash to BRRRR since you won't have the financing costs of two loans. 

I work in the energy industry for my day job and there is speculation on where the next "hot spot" will be for that industry.  

I am in the Air Force and down in Panama City, but I'm from not far from you in Indiana.

Might also be wise to target the younger generation before they get too far into a career or college path.Household income must be 3 times the “Monthly Operation Payment”.Create unique opportunities to create income from excess space in a property (vacation/air bnb, temp housing for travel nurse, students, etc.)Residents may choose to use roommates to meet this requirement.Pet owners buy all the flooring instead of a pet deposit.
