Always hard to predict in the Macro. I think lots of areas will have a mid-term property need. The smaller markets and rural areas get neglected for Midterm rentals but I think the market for furnished medium term rentals will be strong in them for awhile. 

Vidal, I have heard others invest in Milwaukee with varying success. The midwest will be great for cash flow not as high appreciation typically. Would love to connect and talk out of state investing!

Alden, hope all is well! Would love to connect. I have seen this alot being an agent in the Midwest helping people invest in the Midwest from the coasts. I think it can be great just requires more detailed work to find boots on the ground you can trust. Would love to connect and discuss more!

I am in Iowa as well! Very exciting. I think all these book recommendations are great but I highly suggest getting out there and taking action. Go to your local meetups in Des Moines. Network with other investors/agents/lenders. 

Ryan I am in the Waterloo/Cedar falls area would love to connect. I know a few property managers down there.

You are the 5 people you hang out with the most. Go to real estate meetups and other entrepreneur type meetups. Network with people and the ones you click with the most ask out for coffee. I had a few friends discourage me from the start who now want to join me. Funny how that happens. Just keep working at it and try to get around positive, entrepreuner type people. 

Unruly tenants are unfortunately part of the sale process that can throw a big wrench into the plans. If she is month to month I would give her 30 day notice to vacate. Go in and spruce up the unit and put it on vacant. If she has a longer term lease either offer her a chance to break it, maybe some cash to sweeten the deal or if she does not want to move. Take it off the market, wait for her lease to be up and give her notice. Going to be much easier for you, less headache and probably will net more money then trying to work with her in it. 

I think if you are interested in becoming a landlord or want to try this would be a low stakes way to do it. Sign a month to month lease and if it does not go well or you do not like it. You can always sell the house. Also want to check with a lender and make sure your debt to income will support 2 house purchases.

The next real estate meetup is Tuesday May 9th from 5:30-7:30. Would love to see you all there! Will be a great time networking with like-minded individuals!
