As we have 100+ year old trees on the property, as well as a pond and year round stream, I think it could also be used for a tiny-home or tiny-office (commercial) community, which would allow me to maintain control of my property long term and providing recurring revenue to me (my company). 

All the companies you mention are primarily turnkey companies.

Strong property management and careful tenant placement also play a critical role in success here, so I recommend partnering with a turnkey company or an agent who specializes in these areas to make the process smoother.As for rental demand, homes that sit for extended periods are often the result of issues like pricing, condition, or tenant quality—not necessarily a reflection of the market as a whole.

Definitely start with local meet-ups and as you go along you will find people and maybe companies that align with your vision and goals. 

That being said, I'm part of an experienced Syndication Group who invests not only in Multifamily, but also different asset classes:  Self Storage, Mobile Home Park, RV Park, and Retail - all to diversify the investment offerings.Reach out, and the next time we have an LP capital raise, I will send you the OM (and obviously info on our company) to review.

Our property management company works with a lot of first-time landlords - I'm happy to help with any questions! 

That takes a title company and a couple of contracts, but none of your own money. 

Any suggestions on solid management companies in the area?

The title company got our pay off and somehow missed the first lien.🤔 The title company wired the whole amount to us without deducting for the first lien or even catching that there was a first lien.  

If you are working with a reputable company, then you buy the property, hold the property and look up 7-10 years down the road and have a home that has increased in value and a debt that has been reduced by your renter.
