I know the process of touring houses, getting home inspection, researching market rents, looking for tenants, screening tenants, etc takes up a lot of time.

Also, Days On Market (DOM) are up across the USA.

The short term rental market in our area has been doing really well over the past year and we feel this property is a destination unto itself.

Maybe you need to fork over a few thousand to run a market study in the zip codes you really like?

Before you start focusing on the team members, I would figure out what Out of State Market you're going to target.

Loopnet Commercial Cincinnati.  768 hill st.  10.6 acres Industrial $650,000.

The student requests no proof of the mentor's success in the industry but instead gets easily sold on the rainbows and pixie dust.

I have attempted to put it on the market for sale, but there hasn't been much interest.

Perhaps to the tune of $2-$3k per month or more.Your property will, in average market conditions, appreciate. 12-24 months after house hacking you ideally will find yourself in the favorable position of having 5-10% equity through loan amortization and appreciation.
