I am digging in to all the great info, here on BP, through books and locally as well! 

Katlynn,This is where connecting with a local REI group in your area might be able to help.

Good relationship with local wholesaler who needed capital to take down the project How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

However, they also engage with contractors and service providers, suggesting some level of outsourcing.In general, a Housing Authority's management structure will depend on its size, the scope of services it provides, local regulations, and the organization's strategies.

Obtaining competent management was an issue, I have no confidence in the service personal in the local area.  

We do most of our work locally in the Topanga Canyon, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Calabasas, West Hills, Woodland Hills, West LA, Culver City, areas. 

A local Realtor or property manager would be able to advise best. 

I'm a local central Houston Real estate agent, investor and developer.

and same above deduction applies similar to as if it is local STR and self-managed ?

Looking forward to meeting local investors and hearing new ideas!
