No one who has grown a business from small to big will tell you that they got there by surrounding themselves with only people who tell them what they want to hear and deliver it in a warm handbasket.

Unfortunately it was hard to find a contractor during the summer who would take on this "small" job (~$3k).

I also think the real estate community is rather small, so will be a situation where knowing the right people will make all the difference.

Keep your costs small right now and after some time you can cash out refi and get your margins up a little monthly to give you some breathing room or put more money into it later down the road to make it "higher end" and stand out to flip for a profit. :) I'd have your pm company go out and tell you what's NEEDED for them to make it rent ready. 

If you have a small home (1/1 or 2/1) it may work for travel medical professionals and digital nomads.
