Since this is my first rental, I'm not sure I can offer much in the way of rent specials.

You could consider house hacking to reduce out of pocket expenses.It’s definitely an appreciation play not a cash flow play but with the federal government here appreciation is consistent - you won’t get super high appreciation like some places but also don’t get high depreciation as well.

This statement - "Open to any state as long as I can make money and grow" - means you are too open to other's opinions and not focused enough on where you want to be.

Why do you need to record anything? 

Don't mention it to the locals though, even a proud rough neck like you might not be able to make it out of that one ;)

We've also been trying to reach out for 1-1 coaching and you haven't responded to us for months.

Since you already own a property, you wouldn’t qualify as a first-time homebuyer anymore, so FHA loans with their low down payments may not be an option.

In my opinion, this is much more effective than texting, which often feels like a constant game of cat and mouse with phone carriers.

It'll pencil out either way, I'm just trying to be smart about navigating the different housing sub-markets and especially this pivot to the furnished market.
