I've read hundreds of leases from around the country and the BP version is as good as any.

Good Morning, My name is Sebastian Lough and I am a U.S.

I believe Airbnb has pretty good security measures in place to keep hosts and guests safe, but you can look into that more

Perhaps you are getting the California "discount"I may be missing something, but from the pictures the shingles look to be in good shape.

I’ve researched a good number of R2 lots selling for $10-30k that aren’t wooded

I think mid-term rentals are a great strategy for a house hack, if you're in a good mid-term rental market.

So you'd recommend one good BRRRR, and see where things are after that?

Given your preference for cash flow over appreciation, these locations offer good prospects for single-family residences with lower risk and strong rental demand.

(From there find an agency that specializes in the type of project you are looking for, set up Zillow alerts and watch- understand the market you are diving into so you can spot a deal, a good agent should do this for you too!)

My main concern would be vacancy rate, since I know there is still a good amount of vacant houses in some areas.
