If you are in fact in LA, you need to know the tenant laws because investor clients will lean on you to know that stuff.It is totally doable.

If anything I lean towards R2R's model in preference, because one doing things "in-house, is still generally just contracting things, which is doing similar isn't it, relying on vendors for the various aspect's, and only as good as those vendors.

Lean on your agent, and see what examples he or she can provide.

I forgot to mention, I suggest you confirm with the responsible government body (town, city or county) that the encroachment and proposed easement do not and would not violate zoning restrictions, i.e. setbacks or utility easements.

I'm a bit hesitant because sports have destroyed my body haha.

I would leans towards Class A or B (going for appreciation and higher quality tenant but your price points will be higher) not Class C which I think is better suited for locals who are physically there to check on properties and see what tenants are doing to the properties (good or bad things) and what's happening in the neighborhood.  

I think if I had a $100/night for 1 night lean more to IDs.

It was not uncommon for large SFR managers or owners to lean heavy, heavy into tech and remote team members.

As @Robert Ombres warned, is easy to go off thread when leaning against these topics but it all ties together, particularly with respect to “quality of life” and managed vs no growth.Robert, you are correct.

The purpose of the group is to connect with like-minded individuals who can help move each other forward faster.The same goal we start at "moving",  every body is stuck in the analysis-paralysis and they never start.
