I have multiple rental properties but am asking with this situation as it is my first time encountering this.The facts are: I have a management company who manages a single family home for me.

They don't want to get in trouble so they pay on time and many do hustle with multiple jobs as they try to create a better life for themselves.

Managing everything solo can be quite time-consuming, so collaborating with a reputable team is beneficial.

Potential rents for a single-family targeting off-campus students sound great, but will that cover renovation costs and potential vacancy time during the transition?

I have tried multiple times to get a response, all the way up to the VP! 

Ideally, you would want one that would share systems with you (spreadsheets, budget tracking, walkthrough checklists, etc) this would save you a ton in time and duplicated effort. 

I bought my first property for self-living back in early 2019, a condo in Dallas TX.

Also important to note, two are still full time W2 employees.  

I left corporate about 4 months ago to do real estate full time.

We've talked to a few lenders and since this will be our first ground up construction project, they told us that we need to have someone with ground up build experience to also be loan with us.
