I'm curious what investing looks like in Arkansas and if there are any local investment Realtors that can shed light on the situation around here.I live at home so my expenses are quite low while I figure this out, which is good. 

My general goal is 1-3% maybe 5% max yearly increases because they will coincide with the kind of cost-of-living raises many people will see with their jobs.

I had asked them multiple screening questions prior to the showing and then toward the end of the showing and out of nowhere they asked if they could receive a discount on the first month's rent so that they could buy new furniture... living room, dining room and bedroom sets. 

I hate trying to live out of my suitcase.

Especially for STR, you could literally put a sofa bed in the living room and accommodate extra guests (before you all scream, this is fairly common even in high end STRs and I've never heard of complaints, but feel free to cite other experiences).

Sounds like the classic living out their deposit scenario in which they will deplete everything and leave you with nothing to cover repairs, clean up and other turnover costs. 

They give potential buyers a visual representation of the property and help them imagine living there.To use high-quality photos, follow these tips:Hire a professional photographer or use a high-quality cameraUse natural light to highlight the property’s featuresTake pictures from different angles to give a complete view of the propertyEdit the photos to enhance their quality and appealRemember, your photos should showcase the property’s best features and make potential buyers want to see more, so ensure to capture the most unique or most appealing parts of the property.

I want to be able to assist people from every standpoint within the home buying/living process.

I lived in the home for about a year and a half and during this time I rented out the other three rooms which allowed me to only pay ~$200/month plus my portion of utilities.
