That doesnt answer most of these questions, but will be a start for you.My thought...hire a PM for the first one. 

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's realistic that you will find a generic commercial lease online that checks all the compliance boxes for your state, city, and county.There are limited service property managers that will do retail tenant placement (rather than full property management, which it seems like would be overkill for this one commercial unit you manage), and this would be included as part of that basket of services.You could also hire a lawyer, but I think that property management company will be more cost effective. 

A single person can reach out to 100-200 owners a day with a single line dialer, many more with a multiline like Mojo Dialer.3) Once you have a system in place, you can hire a VA to help you cold call and just hand off the responsive leads to you (they won't really hand off appointments). 

Hiring a property management company is a decision that requires careful thought.

Obviously, multifamily has so many more advantages than a Single family home, but can have more barriers to entry.I would start by learning the business, learning how to syndicate and use seller financing, and then focus on two things if you want to invest in multifamily: Sourcing capital and sourcing deals.More units allows you to hire staff and create some economies of scale.

Not sure if they are hiring but they manage all our property in Spokane.

Consider hiring a professional photographer or even staging the home to make it stand out
