You can never predict when your tenant's chickens will escape and greatly upset the old lady next door by pooping all over her manicured lawn, and the only thing that will pacify her is a bouquet of fresh flowers.

I believe I need strong tools to negotiate with the GC whom I will hire and double check his performance on a weekly basis (ex: spliting payment as he hits each milestone or pass each inspection from COSJ building department), so I started building the platform including the comps, ROM construction cost estimate and schedule templates, bid and contract packages, etc. 

They are quite handy for ROM estimates though.

You can add bouquets of silk flowers if you use high end silks.If you have a fireplace, decorate the mantle.

A full property analysis, including ROM of required repairs, a CMA and a market rent analysis.  

How to reach an asset manager..Hire a private investigator to find out who they are, what office they work out of and the name of their executive secretary.Have the investigator find out what organization(s) or clubs the manager belongs to, show up at one of their meetings as a true believer who has fortuitiously "bumped into them".Try sending a big bouquet of flowers to the executive secretary along with a singing telegram person who will deliver your message and hand him or her some ballons and a bottle of good wine with your compliments and business card.

Make a backup on a CD Rom or USB and store that where it can be found.

I suggest you read Every Landlord's Property Protection Guide: 10 Ways to Cut Your Risk Now (book w/ CD-Rom) - it has an entire chapter dedicated to insurance, plus since you have many rentals, you need to learn about the other ways to cut risks since soon you'll have to deal with the asset protection questions.In short, cost is irrelevant if the policies are not the same and not offering the same coverage and deductibles. 

I still have a CD-ROM of non-owner occupant addresses in Richmond County, GA.
