If you are focus on growing your portfolio, then use your time on more value driven task such as research, acquisitions, or capital raising, and leave the daily operations to a property manager. 

Longboat does not have many daily or weekly rental properties.

Long term rentals have the least amount of interaction required, but short term rentals (AirBnB, etc) have higher profit margins - but require a lot more attention (some companies charge 30% for management and the daily turnover service, for instance).I would suggest you compare your potential rates of return from real estate with other investment vehicles.  

As a real estate agent and an investor, I am on the market daily and explore opportunities for myself and my clients.

The groups with the largest marketing budgets get the most leads, which by sheer volume will convert more investors, which means more equity to buy deals.
