I'd suggest getting a boots on the ground manager. 

The post specifically said I wasn't looking for anyone to do a bid, just some simple guesses, or a boot in the right direction. 

She's open to a "blended product" whereby we handle the office and paperwork and she handles the boots on the ground part. 

You need to have boots on the ground, and you'll need to be prepared to move almost immediately, when a true deal presents itself. 

I'd love to work with another investor over there, someone that can be our boots in the ground, pull comps, advertise property, etc.

At least this will allow to have some "boots on the ground" if you need help with something quick from a local person.

Do you have "boots on the ground" in K-Zoo?

Here are the options I'm currently booting around while I wait to close.1. sign all tenants who are currently under a month to month with a 3 month lease to let all my funds and the "new owner" feeling settle in with the tenantsa. update common areas like the halls, stairs, paint etc which will give "reason" to the upcoming rent raisesb. at the end of the 3 months raise the rents on those who need it most in hopes of either they leave or if they stay they're paying at least close to avg rents for the area if not the equivalent of the avg rents.c. as they move out update, raise the rents for the next tenants.2. 

To combat this, I simply pass on homes that I don't feel will be suitable for a transient population. 

As it states, Q1 2018 vs Q1 2017.Not sure what the combative tone is all about, but it's not necessary.
