I would highly recommend getting your license for property management, and/or realtor.  

I've been managing 70+ midterm rentals for over 3 years and we have never housed a traveling nurse - in our area, their stipends (or what they are willing to pay) are much lower than we can get in rents with other prospective guests/tenants.Utilities are included at all of our properties and that is common practice here. 

.- The investment portal is not properly managed, kept up to date or actively used to track financial progress of LP investments.

I would focus on systemizing property management as much as possible so adding more units becomes easier over time.If your goal is to buy one property a year, then stick to your pace.

If I were starting over as an out-of-state investor, I’d focus on building a strong network from day one—especially a great agent, property manager, and contractor.

However, I find the inability to find a capable property manager in Harvest, AL even more  bizarre. 

Perhaps I could help with some recommendations for other contractors to bid on the roof and foundation or even a new property manager.

I’m a short-term rental host, owner, and operator, and I do a lot of STR/mid-term rental investing and management.

Having worked with 1,000's of investors to Broker the properties I sell in my local market, and having worked with dozens of Property Managers, Turnkey Providers, Agents, Property Management Software Companies, Lenders, Inspectors and various other investment real estate vendors to market their products and services on my show, the one thing that stood out to be was the CEO Zach's obsession with the biz.In real estate we've get a lot turnover, a lot of flameout.

I do manage some properties near ACU & HSU and I would highly recommend that area.
