You are creating a new job for yourself.With the number of STRs (I assume that just because there is 850 permits doesn't mean that they are all in use), plus the in you have with the other owners and the local page, make it easier to hit the ground running.Maybe you reach out to some of the independent contractors you know and ask them if they might want to join your team.

@Daniel Brundige Seems a big project if you are starting out, usually people start with smaller ones to get to know the contractors work  etc

Reliable local contacts, like property managers and contractors, can make or break an out-of-state investment.Happy to send some resources about the market if you want to reach out.Best,Travis

Get a qualified contractor to verify the cause and then make the necessary repairs.

There is so much demand for good contractors.

Is there anyone on here with good references of contractors that can help me out along with the best property managers in the area for me to visit with to determine who I should hand over operations to once the work is done.  

We've been in communication about getting everything repaired until they found out the contractor said it would take approximately 4 to 6 weeks to fix the spots of drywall that have been removed and to repaint, etc, and now their responses to my texts are less and less.

You're not likely to have to worry about it, because there's so much damage everywhere here that unless you have an inside scoop to a contractor you're going to be part of a very long list of people getting repairs done. 

I’ve been enjoying listening to Bigger Pockets podcasts for a while and read a couple Bigger Pockets intro books to real-estate/house-hacking.
