The tenant's mother lives with them, and she committed suicide by shooting herself in the head. 

For instance - how much money do you need to bring? 

I realize this is likely very location specific, so I'd look at somewhere like Orlando, FL where the market is hyper-competitive as a "worst case" scenario.As background, I am very new to the idea of STR properties as an investment option and am trying to wrap my head around how best to evaluate properties. 

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who shakes my head sometimes.. 

For instance, I am seeing a potential multi-family investment and this could be my very first investment.

I am scratching my head between WI licensing law, a tough seller, and a very hard area (somewhat rural) with very little investors looking to fork out around 200-300k as a down payment, (banks will probably want %25 of the initial list cost).Does anyone have any ideas on what I do?

Heading there for vacation next week and I always like checking out the real estate scene.

@Corina Eufinger Thanks so much for the heads up!

Spring takes longer for instance.
