It seems like you assembled a good team of professionals and more importantly understand the importance of surrounding yourself with these individuals.

Can't tell you how many have expressed interest in moving, but then when they check the market they understand they can't move. 

Yes- I understand that as a wholesaler, occasionally you'll get massive checks, but as an agent, there is opportunity everywhere around you to rep people.

@Kimberly Arington don't understand your post.Why would a LTR landlord entertain an STR offer and have to furnish the property?

To find properties, you need to first understand what type of property you are looking for and the price range.are you planning to fix and flip luxury properties or properties that are below or above the median price. what square footage are you looking for, what areas, etc.

I understand that part on my end.

It's all relative, for 2 properties & 1 W2 it's solid.

The more I'm involved w/ larger investors who have been around the block, the more I understand why they're willing to take a lower return for less headache. 

Trying to understand Dodd Frank-Frank ("DF") but a little unclear... 

In general smaller towns could be a bit riskier for an MTR as a there are not as many employers for temporary workers but sounds like your are has a some solid demand with the University and Hospitals and not too much competition!
