Considering state laws, fees, insurance, and tax implications can help you choose the best structure for your situation.

Google for "Service Agents" and choose one to do the work if you do not want a fight with your new Tenants.

There are lots of ways to delegate what tenants are responsible for, and whichever way you choose needs to be laid out in the lease.My tenants are responsible for yard maintenance, and it is explicitly laid out in the lease terms there is no confusion.

Then choose your poison.When considering an investment, it's best to look for properties that have multiple options.

When choosing a market how can I analyze to differentiate between the two?

There aren’t many options to choose from. 

Whichever one makes you sleep better at night, choose that one. 

You can do this right away on Airbnb--just choose the 'long term' stay option for your listing, which will require you to rent for a minimum of 32 days.

You get bids from their contractors and choose the one you want (or none of them).

If you are in the actual SubTo community, there is no way they haven't been spam calling you and grouping you so you should have access to that inside of the Facebook page or paid groups.But, seconding @John Clark, if you are new as an investor, choosing SubTo is going to cost you a lot and get you a little.
