I am a long-term investor, but I also provide services to long-term investors, so my advice is biased toward that option.  

Thanks for any help you can provide! 

@Luke Carl That is such solid advice you provided. 

I filled out their survey and provided some constructive feedback, even though I don't own a STR here.

I am the boots on the ground and provide all of the time and my partners supply the money.

Finding a good PM will cover your concerns on managing the rental from OOS and a good agent should be able to provide you with their network of deals, including on and off market opportunities. 

I wrote an article that I think you'd find value in that will provide some answers to your question: https://www.straightupchicagoinvestor.com/blog/6-must-knows

Yes, I am excited to see the opportunities that wholesaling will provide and can’t wait to make it happen.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

It's a relationship game more than anything, so if you're building strong relationships with them and providing a consistent product, you'll be golden.
