Most people tend to get stressed out and overwhelmed when there are too many tasks at hand.

Going with a local company can take some of the tasks off your shoulders and make it truly passive, but it likely will not perform even close to what you could do by listing it yourself on AirBnB and VRBO (or EVOLVE which does both).

I would definitely recommend reaching out to other agents in your office and volunteering to help with some of their more menial tasks (things like attending appraisals, inspections, open houses, etc)It's hard to portray yourself as an expert to a prospective client when you've never been involved in a deal, but if you can fast track that a bit by riding piggy back on someone else's it will accelerate you and help build that comfort and experience.

We have 3 kids under 13 and they help out with small tasks at flip houses and rental rehabs. 

Anyway, I wanted to say that in NJ you cannot legally simply unilateral end a tenancy, or even raise rents dramatically, the state "Anti-eviction" statute prohibits it.

If you are good at standing your ground, learning your law, developing processes, application screening, studying the market, and all other tasks involved then it may be worth trying it on your own.

Get up, start the next task, do it until your tired.

You probably already know a lot of this, but just in case:Get started by making yourself a list of tasks.

"If an individual keeps or is seeking to keep an animal that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks in housing, an owner, lessor, lessor's agent, owner's agent, or representative of a condominium association may request that the individual submit to the owner, lessor, agent, or representative reliable documentation that the individual has a disability and reliable documentation of the disability-related need for the animal, unless the disability is readily apparent or known.

It prevents me from putting off annoying tasks.
