And as @Jay Hinrichs says, the market needs to be right for this strategy and you need a little "jingle in your pocket" ;) Most the time you are bringing a seller current on payments, providing moving expenses, and tackling deferred maintenance/updates - or all three on sub to.

@JD Monroe runs a team of VA's and could provide some insight!

You only need someone to take videos of the right things and provide honest feedback about the block.Let me know if you have any questions or comments below.

Why not spend the additional money on extra insurance coverage that you know will protect you as opposed to another LLC, which might not?

Your property manager will assist in providing access to the insurance adjuster and getting you back on track.

I use OwnerRez as my PMS and their Wordpress plugin provides the booking functionality on my website. 

What they do is charging you thousand of dollar and providing some lectures and materials. 

The one thing I will do to my units to make them more attractive to tenants is I will spend a little bit extra to put in slightly (but not extravagantly) nicer finishes ... things like brushed nickle hardware instead of brass or chrome, laminate floors instead of carpets, etc. and keep my units in good condition ... therefore, even if I charge market rent it is a good deal since my units have slightly nicer finishes ... if I take pride in my units and they are in good locations, then I find it will attract quality tenants who will also take care of my units, and no they do not leave when I raise rents up to the max the market will bear.

Happy to provide more information if necessary.
