Because buying, rehabbing and managing my own properties gave me a certain expertise over time that made it an obvious choice to do so with a focus on working with other investors to help them do what I was already doing for myself.

What other choice do they have if they want to remain solvent? 

You need to be able to afford the note payments until you get everything running, but it should be beneficial to both of you. 2.

Success hinges on staying up-to-date on market shifts, funding choices, and chances for investment.

I am deciding if I want to do this on my own this first round (I currently work 70 hours per week so this isn't really my first choice) or find a property manager (or someone willing to manage mine) who has a good cleaner/handyman/team and has had some good experience with MTRs in this area!

Operate honestly even though it won't always be the easiest choice and that you won't always get that in return and you will have nothing to second guess or regret later. 

You don't have a choice of the sellers agent and if they are bad slow, drop the ball that is where a buyers agent is effective. 

So far this is what I know- they list on all online platforms for free- they take photos for free- they have a 24/7 call number for guests/bookings- they will contact the cleaning business of my choice or suggest a partner in the area.

I would start with a conversation that is beneficial to both parties, you have to start with building the relationship.  

We are in a really good position on this property and have multiple options, this is why I'm trying to get a better understanding of which strategy is going to be the most beneficial.
