So far I'm dozens of podcasts and several books deep and feeling confident I'll get the ball rolling on my own. 

As for seasonality, we expect it to slow down a bit in the winter, but we don’t really know for sure.

This desert community is experiencing something of a quiet and slow-motion revival as one-by-one ramshackle cabins and homes are being renovated. 

I tried to contact them once a month they always had a reason why it was still vacant- slow season, tax season...

I’m also a former Marine and currently studying corporate finance at the University of Washington.I know it’s better to start small, fail small, and learn as you go; while also playing the get rich slow game and building credibility and personal equity.

The only down side on rentals here is the court system is slow to evict and can take up to 6 - 8 weeks to gain possession. 

I just wanted to present how I generally run my numbers before diving deep into a specific deal, and see if there is anything that would be edited for this area.

I figure I would deep clean, repaint and run a hepa filter during this time.

@Deep Johal - Thanks for the advice. 

I have definitely thought about turnkey but it's hard to swallow the slow velocity of money that comes along with turnkey properties, as @Dennis M. alluded.
