Been with a handful of property managers during that time.

However, my true goal has always been to develop, buy, and manage real estate—something I’ve dreamed about since I was 12 years old.

The key to investing out of state is finding a good property manager.  

I have a mobile home park in Idaho which will have an onsite property manager.

I think it would be beneficial to set up your own management company to manage your assets.

. - Property Management: No STR can be successful without quality cleaners and management.

There are plenty of entry roles from cold calling, scrubbing data and find deals for investors, leasing assistant, work on construction sites, office admin, project coordinator, Title assistant, RE photographer, transaction coordinator.. on and on. 

Real estate agents, property managers, and contractors who specialize in your target market can save you time and money in the long run.

These markets have low entry costs, the properties are in decent shape, and they exceed the 1% rule.

I managed a low end apartment block for several years.
