@Dave FosterThis is the expert you refer to.

I was just referring people to them which has stopped. 

Can I reject on income and lack of rental references?

@Kenneth P FordRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Assuming a similar scope of work for a 1000 SqFt house would you say say $25 a SqFt would still hold (maybe $25-40 with a regular handyman or crew). 

If you are looking for recommendations, please let me know, and I am happy to send you a few references. 

If you're referring to off-market properties, I agree with @Jimmy Lieu.

I already gave separate accounts for all my properties and don't love the idea of having another account.For more reference from my side on RentRedi is a bit clunky to navigate, make updates/changes and while I know it's tiny I don't love that it charges my tenants to pay their rent. 

I'm out on site regularly for that project for my W2 job, there are rumors of it growing in scope too.

Set up a clear scope of work and schedule regular video check-ins with photo updates.
