Even though you don't have any work experience you can offer your drive and energy and take on tasks that they don't like doing. 

I'll ask for them to do something (HVAC tune-up, turn off exterior water before winter, etc) and, while they'll initially acknowledge the email, I usually have to follow up multiple times to confirm the task is completed.Is this a pattern with most PMs? 

Finding a contractor or a GC or even an architect (they are very expensive) has been a huge task.

If you don't do the homework, you will give them the impression you may not be up to the task of doing the homework with real estate investing.

I would try to find some other task to automate.

Keep maintenance in mind as well; who's cleaning this thing...you may need to pay extra/look harder if it's a tough job.Once your toilet is A+ create a nice path, add some lights overhead, and really lean into the "aesthetic" so it seems like a fun "adventure" to not have an in-house toilet for a few days.If you can't find comps in the area/state maybe start looking at camping rates in the area and build out from that.Your turnover rate will likely be higher as well; many folks will do the math on how many days they want to go outside to use the bathroom.

They also likely wouldn't contact you unless there was a major incident, most of what you like likely would not qualify as a major task.   

You're going to college to become a doctor or at the very least do something in medicine and thats no easy task. 

If you don't do the homework, you will give them the impression you may not be up to the task of doing the homework with real estate investing.

We really are our own people... we just need guidance on how to kick start this adventure and become financially free.
