When you get to PM companies that are 100++ units they typically have in house handyman services that do it all so they might not have the connections that you need.The next move is going to local REI meetups...

With nursing, I would establish a connection with both the hospital, placement services along with posting it on traveling nurses sites. 

Make sure you have a handyman contact and also research to find emergency service people (plumber for sure). you dont want to have to go searching at 11 pm at night because of an issue.

Amazing, I'm sure there are going to be many people wanting to acquire your services.

As luxury vacation short-term rental hosts, has anyone faced a similar situation or have suggestions on how to proceed?  

With that in mind I’m projecting 200-250k to fund a 25% down payment, closing costs, light rehab, and 6 months of debt service and opex as reserves.

Then fix them.There are services that will put the house on the MLS for $700.

Contracting and subcontracting services, like plumbing, generally don’t count unless tied directly to real estate you own.Are you considering acquiring rental properties or engaging in real estate development where you would personally manage or oversee those properties?

There are obviously other metrics that have to be met, such as the gross monthly rent has to be equal to greater than the total principal, interest, taxes, and insurance; that is the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR).

Without a PM you can afford to pay top dollar for service professionals as needed.
