What are you losing money to thats not related to any of these?

BUT if you must do it, then, just get one of the families of your trustworthy friends, or, relatives and have them move out there, after receiving some intensive training in hospitality, to manage the small 60 units for you and take a risk!

There's a townhome down the street from me currently looking for renters listed at $1250/month". ...and how does this relate to your unit? 

We bought a relatively large house and it's almost too big. (3800 sq ft for a family of 4) however we've paid off our CC, maxed out our 401k, HSA, Emergency Fund, Life Insurance, Will, and started our DGI.

It's all relative.

I'm really hoping to find one relatively quickly but I might have to temper expectations due to a competitive market.

This is the affordable housing business so the product actually needs to be affordable in the market relative to alternative options.

Little things like that helps keep relations good.
