Underutilized space is where I have had success.

I need a bigger and badder space for my business.

Spring-loaded are a tight seal than the flappers, but still not perfect.

I bought a new home in Grove Park with the intention of doing a basement conversion ADU and renting out the space traditionally.

If the home has a crawl space, you 'll really get value from a GC.Radon/well/septic are a must if they apply to you.

Last but not least, research your competitors in the space.

Spaces for corporation’s visitorsDesign and place flyers at local establishments like laundry mats, hair salons, nail salons, where we know there’s a lot of foot traffic Purchase ads and place in local news papersPost a listing to craigslist, zillow, realtor.com, apartments.com, rentals.com and other websites Hotpads.com or cozy.co → multiple rental listing platformsPartner w RE agent and advertise on MLSCreate a FB ad to target tenants Create a FB pg for rental business, post weekly content to generate following, and post listingsPay close attention to what is nearby and cater to that audience- colleges, military bases, etc.Provide stellar customer service.

Property management is a very competitive space.

I asked my agent if I could get a sewer scope, and the guy (very politely, and repeatedly) tells me that typically can be seen in the crawl space. 

You should be tightly focusing on the most advantageous way to get your first property and if you can't house hack, you have to do an investor loan like you said.
