I am most familiar with fixed rate PPAs with rates that change by season (monthly summer, winter, shoulder) and time (hours on-peak, off-peak).

Without a PM the entire burden of management falls squarely on your shoulders - maintenance, collections, postings, legal concerns etc.

Expect to shoulder the burden of copious proof - and even then it may not be granted. 

In many areas of the state you’re realistically talking about a 6 month max rental season (winter + summer) due to Vermont’s significant shoulder seasons, something I’ve shared about a bunch on other posts.   

Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine are states with huge shoulder seasons: effectively 6 of 12 months of the year (Spring: April, May, June + Fall: late October, November, and most of December) rental demand is near nonexistent. 

Today, 7 years later,  I have 37 doors and real estate is my full time job managing those properties.I doubt anyone can tell you exactly what course you should take… but if real estate is your goal, my suggestion is to go find your local real estate investment group that probably meets once a month and start rubbing shoulders with everyone there.  

Its better to partner with someone who will stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

You'll find tons of good info here, I recommend checking out a local meetup or two as they're super helpful to brush shoulders with other folks that have either done what you're doing or are asking the same type of questions. 

There are possibly folks in BP who if you reach out to and maybe pay them an agreed reasonable amount,they will remotely guide you/look over your shoulder thru every step of your first flip or rental etc .

My biggest mistake was thinking that I could lay down new LVP on the main floor of my last house hack, 1 month out of shoulder surgery and I quickly pivoted to a local professional.
