This will be a long term rental that we plan to keep for many years. 

Anderson, IN is an area I have seen success for both flips and BRRRRs. 

Assume success.  

Hi,I'm trying to invest into short-term rental in Savannah, GA.

https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/brrrr-loans-what-are-the-...Short-Term Rental Loans: What Are the Options and How Do DSCR Loans Stack Up?

Find someone who has had success in that specific area, talk to them, and go from there. 

Would you keep for the long term or sell this property?

Income over many years-weather plays a big part is the success of a wash, you want to see REAL numbers for st least 3, more like 5 or 7 years to get a better picture.Sellers mindset-is he really selling 2 of 3.

The best thing about this is it's a free source for building connections and getting information on local meetings.I have found that no one source will give you all the helpful information you'll need to be successful.

If you cannot delay gratification, you are unlikely to be successful in anything because most things in life that are deeply satisfying - getting fit, getting an advanced education, moving deeply through a career, achieving financial success, etc - takes a lot of time and effort and requires sacrificing many short-term niceties and pleasures for long-term achievement.
