In my case, at the end of their lease when I wanted to show the property to prospective long term tenants, the tenant gave me all kinds of grief about 'invading her privacy' and 'disrupting her life' even though I told her at the beginning of the lease that this was our procedure and I made every attempt to 1) give 48 hr lead times, when typically I would only give 24, and 2) blocked/scheduled showings for 1 day per week and 1 weekend day away from dinner time/church times, etc. maybe this was just the person I was dealing with though...- vet the tenant exactly as you would for a normal tenant.

Find one that suits your personality and your cash on hand ready to invest.

You can find many great in person learning events through BP as well.

Currently I am looking at "Your In Town Home" , "Vision Realty Management" just based on the google reviews but would love to get some ideas based on anyone else's personal experience.

Thank you all for your help.This is a great forum.I'm sure I'm not the only person in this situation; and equally confident there is plenty of incorrect information and confusion about this out there.Thank you again!

Keep personal and business finances separate.2.

All of the website builders work a bit differently so some of it comes down to personal preference.

I hope you get some properties out of it, remember it isn’t personal!

House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

I would find someone here or a person at a local REI  to help you get to another level!
