And I carry no chip on my shoulder.

Rehab/Flip or Rehab/ Hold would be the next step and the start of my wealth building process.Just like most, I would appreciate help of any kind... but a friend with extensive knowledge of the DC and Northern Virginia wholesale and rehab market would be most beneficial.I am willing to trade some time on the weekends for tips/tricks/ or just "look over your shoulder" time.

A good PM isn't cheap however I want to point out that they may be worthwhile for the simple fact (among many other things) that most reputable PM companies will employ all the hotel staff which takes away a lot of employer risk (employee lawsuits) off the owner's shoulders.  

I managed to consistently get a 2.5 to 3 year ROI on my properties which was double what I would have gotten going the traditional rental route. the one thing I had to learn was to set my pricing as high as possible during the peak periods and really drop them in the shoulder periods.

In March I went skiing in Colorado, but I broke my tiba, fiba,clavicle, and shoulder blade, I had surgery on them.

I would network at REIA meetings, etc. to find an experienced local investor for whom the numbers are working (I guarantee you they are out there) and look over their shoulder to see if they are doing their math different than you are, or perhaps they are working on a completely different equation than you are.

It really feels like 10 bricks were just taken off my shoulders!

This was a huge weight off my shoulder, as having what is essentially a mortgage (student loans)  is a huge hindrance to investing in real estate.  

You aren't going to want someone who's renting out a party house, but if they seem to cater to families or professionals (and do it well) then it sounds promising.If they have never acted as an AirBNB host before, I'm not going to say don't do it, but definitely spend time talking to them and asking lots of questions about their strategy, goals, etc. and just figure out if that's someone you want to trust with vetting people coming in and out of your property (and if they seem to have a solid head on their shoulders who can handle the day-to-day of managing an STR - which does not have to be hard but does require being resourceful and detail-oriented - and be able to pay rent on time even if business isn't as good as they think it will be!).  

They pretty much turned a cold shoulder to me and said figure it out myself with the construction company they set me up with.
