Short term renters are an even bigger pain, and they constantly want refunds for small things that may go wrong.

Dollar profit might be bigger but the %age profit is smaller and for a larger outlay (higher risk) most people would want a higher reward.

I am new to Bigger Pockets but not necessarily new to Real Estate. 

By chance my neighbors also had a friends that were looking for a bigger home than they were living in and things just kind of fell into place. 

I found them on the Bigger Pockets resource page.

If I am putting $65,000 in the game, I would want to see a bigger cash on cash return.  

I reckon a better question is: What will happen if you don't buy that bigger home where you really want to live?!

@Jared Smith first, welcome to Bigger Pockets! 

What better place to do it than bigger pockets.

I have 0 experience in these smaller markets but definitely will be interesting to see why they have stayed so darn cheap in relation to the bigger one and how would they behave from a cash flow perspective in a “stress” situation.
