Yes I have answered this numerous times on other threads, but bullet points:1 - If you are considering a PM, now would be the time to hire as you can lean on them most likely.2 - Look for designers in the area. 

I also think the real estate community is rather small, so will be a situation where knowing the right people will make all the difference.

The other option would be going to local investor meetups and asking those who attend for good references. 

We do them, but they aren't cheap and your LTV will be lower that a HELOC on a primary residence.

Any best practices or things you have found that have worked well for you?

Most of real estate comes down to finding places that people with options want to live and deploying a well thought out strategy. 

If I "really" needed to, the money could be paid back within a few months. 5.
