A lot of property managers in my area also own or are affiliated with a contracting company.  

But, I think you just need to be affiliated with a broker, then you could do PM on your own. 

So you either want to find a licensed agent who will run comps for you (easy once you have an established and profitable relationship; I expect rather difficult if you are starting from zero) or obtain a  license and find a broker to affiliate with on a part-time basis.In my state, completing the agent class takes a few weeks and about $350-$500.  

One would be, as suggested above, to find a Property Manager (not affiliated with the company that put you in this deal) to rent the property for you. 

No affiliation at all, just a very satisfied customer.  1 key for everything including padlocks.  

Any organization whose significant trade orbusiness is the lending of money, such as a financecompany or credit card company (whether or not affiliated with a financial institution).
