I think you're best bet for private money is going to be to network at the meetups (Red Stick REI, RING) and on FB/here.

Simple furnishings bought used, a single bed, and dresser. 

Not for a single airbnb like you are seeking (you and everyone else) but because if you start a BNB or a guest house or a hotel, you can get 40% of your investment back in the form of a tax CREDIT that you can sell for about 90 cents on the dollar. 

So your best bet is to put yourself in their shoes and shop around just like they would be.Also, some markets are definitely seasonal, and your market rent could change drastically from winter to spring/summer.

However, the price would include the 7 duplexes, 2500 sqft Single family, and an additional 3.5 acres of vacant land attached, all located less than 1 mile from High Point University.

There's definitely challenges, but there's definitely tons of demand for Section 8 in the Cleveland market, especially for single family properties. 

The Numbers:We specialize in single-family rental homes in the $160-250k range, with an average price of $170k-$190k.

I don't know the rental demand, or the demand for families buying single family homes in that area.

My bet is they won't be happy about it.  

I am looking to invest in single/duplex/triplex/qudraplex rental property.
