It’s also been a lightning rod for the balance many regions and towns are still trying to reach between full time owners and short term visitors.

Or get a job at a title company such as Stewart, Land Title, Superior Title, etc as they all heavily work with investors and are often hiring.I've heard of so many side hustles that beginning investors have done--Uber, flipping free stuff or cars, fiverrr/taskrabbit gigs...

Saying management shouldn't differ based on class of property is like hunting a bear using a fishing rod.

Call Stewart Title or Chicago Title and ask them if they work with investors. 

If you want to add as many doors as possible partner, if you want to build capital to reinvest down the rod sell the contracts.
