I've never managed MTRs before and would love any advice on other rule changes that should be adapted and/or any other factor I should consider, particularly through AirBnB.

I'm an agent here in KC, I can set you up with local contractors, property managers, and lenders.

I've managed to house hack my way to owning a fully paid-off 2-bedroom, 1-bath, 900-square-foot home valued at approximately $67,500.

We will be moving cross country and not involved in the management much so I don't think we can claim those losses. 

I also have 5 + years experience in Property Management.

I figure a fix and flip project?

This gives you some optionality and management over the process.

I talked to 2 property management companies who I should rent the house out to one tenant/one household (e.g a couple or family).

Do property management companies need a real estate license? 

That's how it is in OH at leastThey are on a lease but according to my realtor the property manager is going away when I close the scrow and I'm taking over the tenants so the realtor suggested to get a new lease from me.
