Hello, my name is Jason I'm very new to real estate and my goals are to start getting into rental companies and provide myself enough income to do it full time and quit my job. 

However, a few things I would suggest to give you a better perspective is: 1) Talk to property management companies in the area to see if they operate in the area and/or have comments on tenants in the area, 2) Speak to a few banks to understand how they would lend on this property, 3) Scan Zillow/craigslist and other listing sites to understand the rental market for listings...

Zillow, Rentometer, and local property management companies can give you rental comps.

My plan for property is to rent after rehab which the same realtor has a property management company we’ve discussed using. 

What I would do, seeing as I have my own syndication investment company, is use a large portion to invest in my deals as they come.

Also it depends if you hire a company or if you are hiring a person and paying them hourly - the hourly cleaner will be cheaper, but there's more management involved on your side.I pay $120 per turn for a 2br condo.

I'm with a construction and design company and we operate in NC - feel free to reach out, would love to work with you and help you create a high-performing STR.Here are a few we did in NC for you to check out:-https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/755582185230853225?

I would also advise looking into a commercial loan where you do a "Blanket loan" and consolidate 3-5 properties into one (1) commercial loan that does not report to credit.If you refinance to take cash out the rate will be higher but rates will be back down in less than 3 years so its not a long term rate change.
