Have you checked VRBO and AirBNB?

I checked and my brokerage is hiring for a PM role right now so happy to make the introduction if you are interested.In terms of finding a property, I can also help you with that as a Realtor and Mortgage Lender in Arizona! 

Make sure the lender you choose has a strong background in this type of lending...check them out on Linked In to see their experience level.

If you're considering mobile homes, the first step is checking zoning laws and utility access since some areas have restrictions.For resources, Mobile Home University is a well-known starting point, and local mobile home dealers can offer insights on placement and financing.If mobile homes are allowed, you could either rent them yourself for higher returns but more management or rent out the lots for steady cash flow with less work.

Obviously need to check zoning and set up costs etc.
