Every program has different guidelines!

I would like a book or program recommendations in order to learn how to purchase and manage the extended stay hotel.

Hi Treza,Not sure where you are in the process there, but when your ready to exercise financing options please reach out, it's very difficult to find a ground up program for inexperienced borrowers without having an experienced GC sign on the loan with you which in turn is not easy to find. 

Many states have a "reciprocal license" program to simplify the process.

I use to rent to Section 8 in Philly but the program started to be too much of a headache. 

So this involves hiring an architect draw up plans ($1,000 - 3,000 if I had to guess).  

If an attorney needs to get involved i currently don't have one, can anyone recommend one in the Houston area if need be? 

Sometimes I have even directed troubled tenants towards assistance programs (such as single moms because there are a lot of programs for them specifically in my area especially).

Currently, I self manage using software program that centralizes the majority of information and messaging and pushes to all the platforms that we list the properties on. 

But now you have a challenge of documenting both your time AND time of everybody else involved with the property.Now, to answer your question - is it possible from out of state?
