I am open to lending a hand however I can whether that be analyzing deals, optimizing marketing campaigns, ripping out dry wall, picking up 4x4s from Home Depot…you name it!

top floor is at 1250 and I am going to Air Bnb the garden unit 

I know people with long term rentals in Miami Gardens/ North Miami Beach.  

My HOA dues don't kill my cash flow at all, and I love that someone else is worrying about snow removal, gardening, maintenance of the pool and hottub etc.

You can buy the baffles at Home Depot. 

If not, maybe show up at Lowe's/Home Depot at 6 am to see who/what contractors are there purchasing supplies?

To get the fact slap that shows me exactly how I still don't know enough & what more to focus on to avoid as many walks of shame I can in the process.You're right, I'm fresh out the garden so I really don't want my first deal to suck me down a rabbit hole either. 

Absolutely Toni McIntyre, she has helped me with two properties prior and my next one for my family.https://www.bhgre.com/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Real-Estate-Paracle-42261c/Toni-McIntyre-2920917a

Explain that you are fixing up the common areas and need people to take their belongings out of the common space (and keep them out).If some are into gardening, tell them you are also doing the landscaping and are open to suggestions though that doesn't mean you are going to do them. 

If you aren't comfortable going that route, go by a couple local Home Depot stores and you should find guys and trucks out there who can help (I found a handyman that way buying flooring one Saturday morning).If all else fails, there are apps (my neighbor showed me one called Handy) which you can literally book a handyman to come by and fix practically anything.
