But imagine renting  housing from an organization like the SSA, DMV, or Honolulu's permitting department?   

Wanting to get organized early, and stop with spreadsheets and emails to myself. 

I would recommend doing an organic search utilizing facebook or craigslist to find a couple and then vet them and get bids from there.

@Will Fraser Someone I could potentially volunteer to work with to gain knowledge from or someone who love to discuss deals and expand their network.

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.

The downside is your really have to be organized with all your paperwork and have accurate bids prior to closing on the deal.

Makes a good summer job for a 18 year old, making a few bucks a day organizing and cleaning, and they become an intern to learn the life.

We organized our capital to start bidding on new projects and will start placing units in 2021.  

I'm also trying to get organized as I already have a trip planned to view and purchase a second property that will be our second STR investment.

@Dave Kapsack if you hire an organized PMC you shouldn't need your own accounting system.All our client's need is to give the 1099 and Annual Statement we send them, to their tax preparer.Of course we also send out monthly statements:)
