@Jared FisherRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

You cannot get any meaningful answers until you specify what is your "side gig", how much money it's going to bring and how much expenses it's going to incur, and what kind of expenses.And, as a rule of thumb, unless you clear $50k after all expenses, you probably will not benefit from any entities tax-wise. 

If you’re interested in investing here, I’d encourage you to speak with a knowledgeable local real estate professional or lender to get accurate guidance.

I would encourage a deck as well. 

Given your firsthand experience with the Alabama market, particularly with septic-specific considerations, your insights would undoubtedly provide a more accurate perspective on the operational and maintenance costs affecting this asset.Even with the available information, there are still substantial assumptions and speculative elements that must be integrated into the current and pro forma financial analyses to provide a meaningful valuation.

Also, I'd encourage you to think long term. 20-30 years from now, it won't matter if you bought your first property now or 3 years from now.'

Thank you again especially for your encouragement, it has honestly been a hard couple of months but I know its lessons I have to learn! 

I had thought as much but it's encouraging to hear from an experienced investor.Two, it sounds like talking with a CPA is an absolute must on the tax implications of this deal!
