Are you intentionally looking to outsource the management and day to day operations to a management company versus self-managing? 

Now, it's time to explore your investment strategy. 

Wholesaling isn't my specialty, but for those wholesalers I've worked with generally aren't looking to give you personal tips or strategies to be more consistent, they're generally just say, "get a list, call all of them, and then follow up in a week" or something similar.

Interestingly, though, people who have experience with STRs seem more likely to pivot to the MTR strategy once they realize how much easier it is and how well the renters treat their units.

That would be called the BRRRR strategy - there is endless info on that strategy here and on the podcasts and in the BP bookstore.

(Using house hacking strategy)I would love to receive feedback regarding this region from more experienced investors.

My expertise is deal analysis, buy and hole strategy (creative financing) and personal finance. 

My strategy is to hold it long-term, leveraging the steady rental income while benefiting from potential appreciation.

You may save a few thousand dollars going this route, but may lose a few hundred thousand dollars if you are not dialing in on your strategy and numbers.
