I think you're onto something...that VRBO is not currently investing much advertising spend in your market and is instead focusing elsewhere. 

Also, for people claiming insurance here, I would strongly suggest against it unless you cannot come up with the funds to pay for this repair.

I'm thinking the most I should pay for this is somewhere around 730K 

Typically over 5+ units 25% down is optimal but 20% is possible..I don't think I'd recommend a property management company for your search, likely a multi family focused investor RE broker and strong nationwide lender.

If you choose to buy here, pay very close attention to zoning, and run your BRRRR numbers conservatively.

You will have to pay tax on the depreciation recapture and gain on sale (if applicable).

I recently bought my mother a mobile home on a lot cash in Corpus Christi so she will not have to pay rent.

I know contract pays for travel nurses have decreased, but I still think you can make a decent profit if you the house is close enough to a hospital.

If you use an Hard money for an investment it will be loaded with fee's pay points and high rate.Primary home is a simple DPA program either through the State, County or like CHENOA. 

The things you need to watch out for are the price you pay and how leads are distributed.
