I would self manage. You will be giving away a lot of money that will cut into your profits considerably. It is not hard to self manage at all. Carry a good inventory, and have the highest quality of linens, towels and furniture you can afford, as the cheaper stuff wears out faster. 

I have wonderful cleaners that I pay well, respect and most importantly communicate well with. I trust them and know that they treat my house like it was their own. I have them take inventory with every clean through Turno and have supplies sent to their personal homes to maintain my inventory. I have wonderful relationships with quality professionals, handyman(in my case, handywoman) plumbers, electricians, AC services etc. When I call, they usually get to my location within a few hours and always the same day for any repairs/services needed. I am loyal to them and they treat me very well. If you have all this in place, it is very minimal work daily and far outweighs the cost you would pay a property manager. 

 If it is the reverse, for example: a Sellers agent negotiating directly with the Buyer in a commercial real estate transaction on an ongoing, longterm basis, is that an ethics situation as well? 

 Are there repercussions? Or is this just considered not good to do?

 What about the reverse? The Sellers Agent directly speaking with the Buyer on an ongoing basis to negotiate a contract?

I am curious if it is ethical to have a Buyers agent negotiate only with the Seller directly, and not with the Sellers agent? 

I own land in Mill Creek. Great area, almost 3 acres. 

 What type of property are you looking for? 

I own almost 3 acres of land in a suburb just north of Seattle, WA in the Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing corridor. Land is zoned Community Business/Mixed Use, rests on a major state route and has excellent frontage along a 5 way intersection. Incredible traffic counts. I have a pre-app approved mixed use site plan with the city, storm water etc complete. Just held in limbo as density has increased. Anchored by Fred Meyer, Sprouts, Lowe's, Les Schwab and 2 miles from an award winning Towne Center.
