The biggest challenge in your target community areas is going to be HOA associations barring or being able to bar LTR and STR.

It was the first and might be the last due to all the fees that are associated with closing on this home.

We were told by an associate they were moving to the area.

I'm very new to real estate, but after finishing my law degree last year I'm starting to realize how much this experience can be of use to me in this field.

If and when you close on the unit, there should be a procedure (state specific) where you should be able to access the records/financials of the Association which should include budgets, financials, etc. 

Are there roles at other brokerages similar to Redfin's Associate Agent positions?

Or I could assign it to a partner, associate or whomever else I please as long as it closes.Many Investors, licensed or not, whether they flip or hold do this frequently and I doubt that many have a problem with it.

When I say "turn" the degree I am am describing is new paint and clean.You want a new tenant in there ASAP.

Before some condo associates had implemented rules that they needed to approve your tenants, board only meets once a month, so to get a tenant approved might take a couple of months.
