I have to give a special shout out to @John Underwood @Luke Carl and @Paul Sandhu.

I recommend a lender that specializes in a vacation rental market.

Especially if landlords are running specials, it makes the rental easier to financially get in too. 

Being military and stationed overseas created several issues to work through.

I have been trying to locate a good real estate accountant that could assist me prior to pulling the trigger on the refinance and it seems most referred accountants I have looked into all specialize in small business accounting as well.

Do a military stint.

I am not opposed to using a platform like Propstream that would provide hard analytical data on markets, demographics, and such, but even just in terms of news about developing markets and real estate news I don't really know where to look for specialized real estate news that is not subjective/someone's personal take on what is happening in a given market or something.

Recommendations to get movement - offer a move-in special. 1/2 month off first month rent or a deposit special are common.

We strive to provide a clean, safe, and convenient place to vacation or celebrate special occasions.While this is our first property together, our partnership developed from a Bigger Pockets meetup at a coffee shop in Big Sky, Montana.

@Daniel P Buteau Most direct mail companies that specialize in real estate have templates that you can use.
