As it relates to structure it is really whatever you want - key is just outline in your PPM what you are doing and how You can have it as one entity or a management entity and ownership of asset entity.

@Steve K. did an exceptional job of outlining key first steps to take.

I personally favor markets/approach that's outlined in BP's annual rental market survey (here is the latest) - that is focusing on cities that have a good mixture of cash flow (driven by relatively low prices and strong rents) and appreciation (driven by good economic/demographic conditions).So my research generally consists of starting with the 50 biggest metropolitan areas in the US and narrowing them down based on which ones fit the above criteria the most.

You need:a manager contract outlining duties and responsibilitiesState Employer account for workman's comp and withholding for Fed and State SSILiability insurance for the manager & E&O (Errors & Omissions) insurance also.To get out of that trap, you will need to first find a PM of your choice and make sure they will provide the on-site, live-in manager. 

My assumption is that the entity structure will be outlined in the proprietary lease?
