Another popular option is AgFirst but I personally have had a hard time getting responses from them.

Conventional would allow you to add a fence or do yard work in your bid.I cannot lend to you personally in MA but happy to answer any general questions about the 203k or other Renovation loan programs!

It also gives you multiple work surfaces so you can have more than one person in the kitchen without getting in each others' way.

Non-recourse has less personal exposure, but you need a very strong balance sheet to secure this without bringing in a KP.

I personally think they are “higher end” than anything stackable.

And what if the one person you didn't check has a criminal background, has collections, and more?

I am not a huge fan of them personally as they are PE investors and have a very, very narrow view of the industry and how it should be approached. 

Don't be that person.  

For instance, said property manager manages maintenance issues, problems that arise during bookings, basically anything that needs a physical person at the property, while I manage the rest?

I personally do not have experience managing rentals.
