I think any seller without much knowledge of being the lender would appreciate the added benefits and hassle free approach using a third party.

Is there anyone in your local market you could take out to lunch who does flips?

I find new lending opportunities by networking at local RE Meetups, Training Classes and real estate functions.   

BTW: most owners that have hired a PMC, don't want to speak with you, much less meet with you in person to hear a hyped-up sales pitch.Also, you want to do rental arbitrage - so, you will need to be properly licensed to manage properties you do not own as required by your state & local laws.- why would an owner want to do business with someone NOT properly licensed?

You may able to find someone local in Dallas who could help you.I've also known investors who do rent by the room.

I have not focused as much on building senior community relationships as I would like, but I have used the knowledge to help me do a better job for the families I help. 

I am a local Realtor and I work differently with my investors.

Just do thorough research on the local market and have a solid plan for managing the properties remotely.Good luck!

It is also worth noting that property management is often closer to 30% of gross rent for a short-term rental due to the much more intensive hands-on management compared to a typical 10% for long-term and as such, I agree with recommendations above that medium term rentals may provide the best of both worlds if you are able to tailor proximity to a local need, e.g. hospitals and travel nurses.Again, happy to relay my personal experiences in the area if you're interested.Best of luck,Patrick
