In terms of liability, that's a legal questions set for an attorney.

If you try to get in with some upside down project with thin margins you won't be able to do it.The midwest from Pittsburgh out through Ohio and into Indiana, you have markets in that belt that offer beginners with little capital and no experience a chance to play.That's fine and dandy but setting up a network full of Agents, Wholesalers, and GCs that aren't gonna over sell you, talk you into a bad project, or plain rip you off is the hard part.

If we held on to the home, and are able to establish a decent rent rate/month through STR or potentially even LTR, my thought was to then move forward with a cash out refinance with a 30 year set rate mortgage and only take out enough equity to keep the monthly payments at a rate we know will cash flow with our established rent rate/month.

If you are leaning towards using a property manager or think you may at some point, just make sure you budget for that in your analysis so that your cash flow figures are taking that potential expense into account.Since this would only be your first property, I don't think you need a professional hiring firm--it would probably be more beneficial for you to do the interviewing yourself to be sure that you set expectations properly, are aligned, and can work well together.
