As for the remodeling aspect, I’m considering hiring a general contractor given my current level of experience.

Best to hire it out, even though it hurts the margins, it saves my time and stress substantially.

Next you want to hire a realtor.

Nothing like word of mouth referrals.Either way you definitely want a way to check/verify their work before hiring them.

What’s your game plan for managing the park — hands-on or hiring a property manager?  

The houses would be looking at I'd imagine would be about 7 to 800 k taxes would be about 4K hire a year.

I understand why carriers associate Condo/PUD construction with greater liability risk (I am sure being based in Philadelphia, a jury friendly city doesn't help either) but curious which carriers others are finding to price coverage without this exclusion and also price the coverage competitively.This also serves as a reminder to review the coverage when you hire a GC for more substantial or unique construction assignments. 

I am currently 21 years old and was recently hired with my dream job in Sarasota County (I saw that Sarasota wasn’t an option so I picked the closest.)

Step 3- hire property manager to manage/look for rentersStep 4- look to refiance out of the hard money loan(how long after having a renter in can we refiance?)

Here is my two cents: When hiring a contractor for substantial renovations, start by researching local licensed and insured contractors with solid reviews.
