When I got my first loan for real estate I realized it would’ve taken me a full year to make this money before I could invest.

Outsourcing your admin tasks and management is the answer.

@Jaron WallingI'm in the exact same boat - any time away from family has to be wisely invested. 

The rehab depending on the size again may be more like 200K with repiping, I did a remodel last year 1500sf, and needed a roof, panel, all siding, full interior redo and permits it cost us 218K3.

I can do DSCR loans or a full doc loan. 

Complete full rehab.

Quote from @Alan Asriants: When investors first start learning about real estate investing, many share a common goal: acquiring a large number of units, generating enough cash flow to leave their 9-to-5 jobs, and becoming full-time real estate investors.

I agree with @Bryant Xavier and @Michael Baum building a strong local team is essential for successful self-management, and your cleaner will be your key point of contact.It’s also worth looking into co-hosting services, as you may be able to negotiate a lower rate for specific tasks instead of full management.

I have a client who wants to rent his home for 30 days or more, but not full year leases, just a few months at a time.
