@Rachel Foster, I have interviewed a number of PM's over the years when I was considering 'outsourcing' my PM.  

If you really really want to try to outsource it to the tenant, create a picture or video guide on what to do and share it and inspect for dead patches.

If you are starting a bit larger then I would outsource it.

I’m pretty handy, I’ve done most of the plumbing, electrical, carpentry in my own house among others but I still plan on outsourcing most of this work and I’ve placed a number on everything that needs to be done.

I want to gain the ability to OUTSOURCE more and more with every deal.

Just planning this as an expense because I will need a level foundation and subfloor if I want to address interior upgrades, so this can't be deferred if the plan is improve and raise rent.Running estimated numbers on 5k per building to level them (not even sure that's totally needed yet) and putting rents to market rate gives me a 5.5% cash on cash.Budgeting 5k per unit (again maybe too high but assuming I'm outsourcing a lot) and moving rents to market of $550 each puts me at a 7% cash on cash with two adjacent improved property on a desirable street in my area.

—outsource what you don’t like.

My goal is to live in the property for one year while I put in the sweat equity and outsource some of the work that I will not be able to manage. 

Hello, i am looking to outsource my direct mail campaigns...can you share your recommendations of companies that do a good job?

Outsource the sales calls to virtual assistants you train.
