We own and manage a couple of small multifamily homes. 

As a landlord you may receive rent from the government but you still must manage their ward/your tenant by your standards.If you screen and allow tenants with below average credit scores there is no doubt you will be effected by this tenant.

Any suggestions or thoughts on an Instagram content creator / site manager?

When he called me this past time, he was in the bank and while I was on the phone, politely asked the manager to speak with me so I could get more information as to what was going on.

That way I have it documented up front.

I find that all of our tenants when we say we don't use property management they jump for joy and say their prior landlord/property management was terrible to work with.I just assumed that everywhere has bad landlords who aren't willing to do the right thing for their tenants, which ultimately leads to happier tenants, longer leases and more $$ for us.

Lease a nice car, lease a nice house & create a social media account to document your life.

If you don't have a lot of experience cold calling or managing a team, I would recommend using one of the companies that already have a training program, they will hire and manage the VA's for you for a small per hour fee, well worth it. 

What you do is create a management company and charge out a fee to your rental properties.

I would suggest an AirDNA report and any other documentation you can get from property managers, other hosts, etc. that support the higher income figure.
