Smaller Texas town...no competitor coming in here.

@Pete AbillaI don't know whey @Ian Stuart said that but Bozeman is a very fast growing college town.

Of course like @Don Spafford says, when you are doing it in a big town like Boise, regulation changes can turn your vacation rental into a long term rental in the blink of an eye.

I know they don’t have the best reputation, but there’s a lot of them around those towns I mentioned and many seem to be in my price range (under 350k).

I also have my eyes on few other properties outside of town that are triplex, fourplex, and sixplex.

I know they don't have the best reputation on here, but there's a lot of them around those towns I mentioned and many seem to be in my price range (under 350k).

There are a lot of people in town willing to help out.

But I use the same ones in their respective towns.

If you don't mind the neighborhoods and the tenant pool that rents in those areas, then you might be able to put off-market deals together - if you are in town and are able to "drive for dollars".
