Let me know if they need suggestions or further help!

I would also suggest letting them know what the requirements are prior to the showing, and possibly even allowing them to sort of fill out a questionnaire and making it known that failing to meet one or more of the requirements could result in denial of a tour however, everyone is encouraged to apply.Quote from @Emily Mohr: Thank you @Charles J Sabo, @Caria Mitchell, and @Matthew Becker! 

I suspect it will be well used and have high maintenance costs.Software: office of google office, asana, possibly quickbooks (i would normally not suggest for a single rental, but the rent by room compounds things).  

Andrew gave some good suggestions.

Are you suggesting that being crammed in a small hotel room represents a better experience than being in a comfortable homey Airbnb?

Hi Steve,Welcome to BP.There are several Meetups for Real Estate investors in Albuquerque.I suggest you go to Meetup.com and search.

I would suggest going as big as possible in the beginning. 

It was at the suggestion of my accountant that I hired the bookkeeper.

I like and appreciate both of your suggestions!

But the rental too does have to meet the "active conduct of a trade or business" threshold, which does mean you wouldn't qualify to use section 179 if you have a rental that is managed entirely by someone else and you aren't at least overseeing it and making decisions about the management of it.I mostly disagree with the reply suggesting that you need to have an LLC to take the section 179 deduction.
