@James Ryan I am not an accountant , the following is my laypersons understanding. 

@Joshua Ryan Lindsay Thank you! 

(We also have a propane fire table outside which sadly, has seen questionable choices to roast marshmallows which probably burned and smoked on the glass beads, etc.)You may not have this @Collin Hays where your cabin is, but one nice thing about the propane outside (not your question, I know) is that depending on the county fire restrictions (which we get when the fire danger is high), our guests have still been able to use both the grill and the fire table since they're contained and propane-fueled, which is not the case for charcoal or real wood.Who doesn't love a real fire- true.

The obvious to choices would be between smarter contact and launch control, however, I would like to know if anyone has tried any other platforms besides those two that allow importing cold lists from other softwares like propstream.

That's a personal choice, but a choice nonetheless. 

If your main goal is cash flow and affordability, Orlando is generally the better choice.

Hagerstown and Howard County are both solid choices with very different dynamics — Hagerstown offers better entry prices and cash flow potential, while Howard leans more toward appreciation and stability.

.- I’m also open to starting with a single-family property and renting out rooms, though it’s not my first choice.- I work in Southlake, so I’m aiming for something within 30 minutes of there (or nearby areas).While I don’t bring a large amount of capital to the table right now, I do bring time, flexibility, and a strong willingness to learn and put in the work.

Quote from @Ryan Stuckey: For a short-term rehab project, 100% financing on purchase and rehab is not all that uncommon.

@Scott Ryan one way to reduce risk is require a double deposit and/ or a rent guaranty policy via LEAP or some other insurance program.
