I agree with most—if you're local and familiar with the property's history, self-managing could be a great option!

Are there other creative options I haven’t considered?

From time to time, I will see brokers list in the private remarks - "The property can't close until X date unless the buyer wants to pay for early issue title insurance. " This may be an option for you but TIME IS MONEY and why lose potential buyers or offers by creating roadblocks to your flip project.

.: Quote from @Stepan Hedz: Phoenix, AZ, offers a young myriad of options for real estate investors, particularly in the distressed sectors.

That said, if managing sounds overwhelming or you’re strapped for time, hiring a property manager from the start is a perfectly valid option.

The reason I approached them about putting their offerings on my show is because I wanted to diversify my product offerings beyond the low income stuff that I specialize in so I could present investors with options that come with varying levels of risk.I do not agree with you that investors won't make money in the low income space at all tho.

Showdigs is another great option for landlords in your situation.

Lenders can have different loan options based on the property type and the amount of rehab (if any) required for the project. 

I've been doing some light reading, and it sounds like refinancing that property and using the proceeds to reinvest elsewhere might be a better option. 

Do you limit the term to 6 months to begin with, or 30 days minimum stay and negotiate an option later on?
