I need to get this existing company out of my life. 

I would suggest taking a look at Columbus Ohio because it has everything mentioned above and there's so many companies moving/developing here.

Just a filing fee (That's if your title company charges it) I have a realtionship with my title company and they don't charge me for it.

Anyone familiar with rental mgmt companies in and around greater Houston area (TX) that are investor friendly and can recommend to help me market, screen and place qualified tenants?

I hired a licensed mold assessment company and after they got the results, the referred me to the mold remediation company which it has to be according to the Texas law.

Quote from @Michael Turner: here is their website - https://www.lurin.com/thanks in advance -  I did a quick check about the company and it passed the initial sniff test.

For example, NC doesn't allow a double closing UNLESS you bring your own funds or use transactional funding and they DO NOT allow "pass through funding" which means using your end buyers funds to be used for your initial closing.I think you would be amazed at how many states now OR should I say title companies will not allow pass through closings.. its not the state its the title company that has their rules and regulations that you need to follow.   

If the person is already negotiating and finding deals there are two options in my opinion:1) Hire a good real estate attorney and have them on retainer...pay a flat fee for looking over the contracts and doing title work2) Work directly with a title company and offer to pay them a higher fee to handle transaction coordination.  

Water meter-water company.  

I’m familiar with a few companies that do these types of mailings for investors.
