I'm considering SFH or Condo or townhouse to start with targeting local college/schools.

Also, targeting traveling professionals or insurance clients for mid-term stays can sometimes yield higher rates than typical monthly renters.

Not my target.

Hello Dennis and welcome to the BP forums,You'll get some great insights on this post from experienced wholesalers in and out of your target market. 

Here’s a quick rundown:STR Strategy: If you’re confident about managing an STR well, aim to stand out in the market and try to hit that $1,000/month target.

Were you targeting traveling professionals in particular for your house hack, and if so, was it a SFH or a duplex type situation?

I added value to the deal by strategically investing $15,000 in targeted renovations, including modernizing the decor and enhancing the property’s appeal with stylish finishes and functional updates.

I found this on their web site:Our company Tax Alchemy provides tax planning and implementation services as a flat rate fee based on the tax strategies needed to reduce your tax bill.

Since I am focusing on cash flow I want to target B or C+ neighborhoods. 

Based on 1. above determine the maximum amount your willing to pay to avoid a lawsuit and the realistic “target” amount you’d want to pay given what you learned from the attorney consultation3.
