Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Well you'd actually be netting more in the long run by doing so compared to putting it towards the home. 

It amazes me the nice cars, clothes, and general stuff that my renters have compared to what I own. 

Financial Freedom Network I laughed at -- after reading the agreement, no comparable value for that monthly price -- 3 or so years ago, if value has changed now, my time-based disclaimer is as aforementioned -- and Legrand would do well to disconnect FFN from his name, as I believe FFN is now out-sourced, whatever.I empathize with you , Joe and the other responders, but when I read Legrand’s, and most of the other guru’s, contracts prior to trying a teaser product, it clearly stated in the agreement that if customer did not want the upgrade service for which the teaser/free product, free video, whatever, was being given away, then customer must cancel within the stated period of time, which almost always range from 30 to 90 days [60 days is becoming more common, as more folks forget to cancel]So long as terms to cancel are clearly stated prior to contracting, I don’t find it unethical, -- and real estate gurus have merely adapted a teaser or rebate marketing technique used in most every industry -- recently even Chrysler cars [try our minivan for 60 days!

Some states have housing authorities that are more landlord-friendly (i.e. holding tenants responsible for damages or cleanliness v landlord).

That's why I came across turnkey properties for some hand holding as you mentioned.  

Not the greatest occupancy rate, especially when compared with somewhere like the Smokies.
