Do you like to do business with people trying to do a workaround?

People need homes.

If you are putting in 50% of the purchase money, guaranteeing the rehab loan alone, and doing all the work, it does not seem fair to you that your investor takes 50% of the profit.Though there are lenders that specialize in second-position rehab loans, most who make these will expect to be in first position.

Do people put exercise equipment like treadmill or stationary bike in their mid term rentals?

I've heard too many horror stories about people that pay cash for a property because they think they are getting a deal.A moron of an owner could see they could get a much higher price if they just put in the exit signs (etc) and then sold to someone with a bank loan.

You will probably find some people here with experience in or around where you wind up.

Staffing key people already there, front desk person, accounting person, all the third party vendors you need, all the training you need for your agents.All you do is recruit and sell. 

People find the best schools and look for houses around that school.You should start with the state and then drill down.

Pick a place where lots of people want to rent, the houses are cheap, and there's a chance for growth.
