there are several good groups to get involved with here in okc. 

Student rentals and airbnb have higher returns but usually have more turnover and work involved. 

My ideal retirement still involves working in real estate, it just means I’m not working my 9-5 and I can take a 6 month+ vacation away without having to worry.

I have started out with small lists/tasks, and therefore small fees, as trials to find someone capable.

I've only tried it twice and was successful both times but it's definitely more involved than a simple assignment.

This is what I would do in your situation:Of course, not knowing the personalities and temperaments of the people involved, I'm at a disadvantage.
