Since I plan to DIY landlord and my skill set so far are close to non-existent, i know I won’t be able to keep a B class tenant happy.

This is the most important skill to learn and master. 

In fact many, if not most notes are bought, sold, traded as investors try to employ their capital for maximum efficiency within their risk preferences.Now, their are some owner financing options referred to a contract for deed, which is indeed a different animal.

Can I, as an investor, act as PM on my rehabs, hire different trades and complete the work?

You also want to streamline your skills to help someone in the business, so like @Evan Polaski said, when you go to REI events and meet investors you have a skill set that can help them and you in turn, can learn.

Goal is to have a single family that needs some rehab to continue my skills in rehabbing by myself. 

It actually does require skills.

As part of working on building my team in the area as an Out Of State Investor, I am in need of contractors and skilled handymen that work with investor & are able to provide weekly updates during the rehab to me.
