From what I could tell, only 2 people worked there and if something happened over a weekend, you wouldn't get a response until Monday.  

My recommendation would be to drive down there on a weekend and just check out the places you like and see the city before you dive in.

If you are planning to invest in MF, the 2-day weekend Sumrok training is very helpful. 

In order to get there it would be good if you could keep feeding cashflow proceeds back into acquisitions, on top of your continued W2.Speaking from experience, you can manage probably 30-50 units yourself nights and weekends before you really need to hire someone.

How many weekends do you want to drive up north to find, purchase, setup and maintain an STR?

What helped me tremendously in the beginning was to sit an open house every weekend.  

Within 3 days they were on their way, the house was empty and very clean and we had it posted for rent the following weekend. 

Take your time, be wise, and time will reward you. agree 100%. you have people here on BP who have been in real estate for 20+ years and always talk about the risk and how hard it is - and then you have people who will tell you that after a weekend of a month you can make six figures in real estate.
