Any tips or recommendations for getting coverage in our state?

It may be more simple than you think, so I'm happy to share my experience and recommendations.

I wouldn't recommend buying all cash if you can avoid it.

Location Location Location is everything everything everything Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Although I'm not recommending any particular thing for you, I'm just pointing out that there are other ways to make money than this.

I would not recommend that an agent broker the deal.

Also, rentals in S Corps are generally bad should you want to revoke S Corp election one day, the assets are distributed at fair market value and likely will have capital gain without cash.Alternatively, a multi-member LLC taxed as a partnership is considered a pass-through entity, and if your state allows SALT work-around / PTET on rental income, a partnership solves both issues.We recommend partnerships often for rentals especially STRs.

@Jake Posnerstrongly recommend looking closer to home - OOS investing is more difficult than it's made out to be. andwith rates where they are, there's just about no cash flow right now unless you employ a creative strategy or a combination of creative strategies.if you just buy any old property in any old market, you're not going to cash flow.

I recommend doing at least 5 per day. 

Depends perhaps on where you are, but most of the good real estate attorneys I know in Texas recommend against using Contract for Deed.
