I have 2 other prospected properties that I also wanna turn into hubs.. and I'm starting a property management company to manage the tenants and I'll be marketing the hubs daily..

I believe with one that was 2 hours away I would at least think long and hard about some sort of property management company even if it was a hybrid solution.

Q2: Would it be better to hire a property management company to manage the house since we will be moving out of state?

Also, don't forget a good STR company wants to succeed as much as the owner.

Who does these (not looking for specific companies), is it accountants, lawyers, agents, and/or contractors? 

As I see it I'm betting on the housing market, rental market, YoY tax increases, and insurance companies.

I'm on the lookout for investor-friendly title companies and lawyers.

Also, have an attorney and/or work with a title company to help you draft up the paperwork and close the deal. 

If it's a trust naming a person that has passed away, there is a person that is named on the trust to perform this for the person, or lawyer.A lawyer, or escrow company can give you more insight on the forms that are needed for this type of transaction and how to get them signed and processed.Good luck.

My property management company is willing to handle and manage the repairs (but since it'll be expensive I will likely want to go there so I can manage some of the repairs and pick out my materials).Out of the 3 options, this would come with the least amount of tax repercussions.Cons: Moderate stress.
