I’m trying to farm out things I don’t like to do or struggling to do consistently.

There are always multis in the area up for sale and with the consistent development in this area you can find a good deal with some upside in a few years if you're planning on house hacking.

The fact that as an agent you must constantly prospect new people and communicate with your sphere of friends, family, coworkers to grow your business is an unintended benefit.I've been very suprised to learn who else is into investing, buying or selling just by reaching out to my sphere during normal prospecting.

You should make sure that communication goes to you. 

Relying on email communications for deciding on transferring large sums of money..

My question is, “how could I keep consistent money coming in as I grow my newly formed business?”

That's how you get solid leads - great marketing and consistency. 

I have found 1BR and studios in my market consistently have tenants that do not stay in the unit as long. 

If short term rentals are legal, it can be doubly profitable.As far as running a short-term rental while holding down a full-time job, it's not a problem, you just need to develop systems for dealing with guest communication, TURNOVER and any unexpected emergencies.

Hard to see the downside to this if the numbers work with the current income, assuming it's consistent and not depending on the same families coming year in and out due to the relationship with the host.
