Anything more will be high in fees

My goal is to make a well-informed decision that not only helps with my mortgage but also provides quality housing options for locals or students in the area.Thanks in advance for your help!

U did not comment on the high priced markets compared to low price markets ?? 

I see that choice as high risk.  

The appreciation for the property is definitely going to be long term and not short term, so selling now isn’t ideal.The property manager agreed to market it as a medium term rental, so we’ll try that, but it's new to both of us, and it seems like it would have to rent at $3700 to be profitable; does that seem too high to the folks here?  

The STR has high-traffic, people in and out every week, and the MTR doesn't have that high traffic but its about 180 miles away and I don't want any  issues when it sits empty for a week or two. 

That's a pretty high cost for an investment that hasn't paid out yet and the returns are unknown.

If the property doesn't appraise that high, you will have to lower your loan amount and won't be able to get back all of the cash that you invested. 

I’m not saying it can’t work because folks like Brandon Turner swear by partnerships, I’m just saying exercise extra caution.
