A good Realtor that knows investing should be able to connect you with a great PM in the area where you plan to buy.

Knowing my situation, if my wife and I were doing something like this, I'd be OK with buying something sooner and cheaper, but my wife would prefer to wait a little longer to save more to buy something nicer.

Just bought my first investment property in LI, looking to buy and learn more!

Just make sure you are saving towards those slow months during the peak months, buy a deal at the right price (don't overpay just because its a turnkey STR or you think it will make more money than projected), and look into ways to increase bookings during those slow months with some marketing and operation tweaks. 

I assume you are asking about buying the property itself.

for me  a handful since early 80s  now in those days I was ONLY buying land that had owner contracts on them. 

I am buying it furnished.
