I just think your time would be better spent elsewhere. 

Big cities don't work any better here than in Canada. 

After visiting the property, I decided not to offer based on what seemed to be many interior issues, a roof that’s seen better days, and more tenants living in the unit I was allowed to view than I was expecting for a 800 square foot space. 

I operate in Pinellas County so I know the numbers better than anyone here. 

Most of them are looking at places like the Oregon Coast that has huge potential for STR cash flows.Texas is a hot market and priced much better than Vegas in more than a few markets.

Some just make perpetual threatening phone calls.Some start court actions, so they get a money judgment which they can use to at least garnish state income taxes (you can't garnish federal returns).Property owners need to start asking PMCs HOW they will execute their services, so owner expectations can be better met:)

Unless someone else comments with a better idea / option. 

If you're looking for less management intensive multi families that will be a better hedge against inflation, but may not produce much in the terms of cash flow, look at the Class A & B areas of Sacramento, for example, Midtown, Downtown, East Sac, Med Center, etc.

Apparently she is very sick and will not leave her house or meet me until she is better.

We are in the sunbelt states and they have performed great for all of our investors.I would be careful with the "riskiness" cheaper isnt always better.
