Sit down and hash out every detail and put it in writing.

Not to mention, they weren’t aware of my entity information and other organizational details I’d previously sent (ie state formation, scope of work, etc.); easy stuff.

Quote from @Chris Clarkson: Initially I’m wanting to start in the local Chattanooga/North Georgia areaWould you be interested in something like this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3621-Missi...?

It would also have to be put up and taken down between each tenant and I don't know how responsive your PM will be to this extra work. 

I just set up my vrbo account and still some finer details about planning the communication, cleaning service, maintenance persons, etc…

If you can post more of the details I’d love to give my advice!

Question that the “believers” don’t ask is “how much could I earn on the extra money I’m spending to pay down the loan faster?  

STRs also avoid automatic classification as passive if rented for seven days or fewer per tenant.To maximize tax benefits, maintain detailed logs of all hours worked on activities like tenant communication, cleaning, maintenance, and marketing.

It’s awesome that you want to use your downtime to learn more about the industry and make some extra income as a VA.

Give them all the details, contact information, time lines, relationships, etc.
