(I live in upstate SC)I know I'm going to have to be comfortable trusting a property manager for aNY project for it to be scalable, but  the prospects of having one of the tenants in a turnaround park watch over an entire asset while I'm away seems nuts, at least in my brain.

Unless it's going to totally kill your bottom line, I would do it if you're already having HVAC work done since it's likely going to be cheaper than deciding to add it on later down the line.It would definitely be a selling point for a prospective tenant or future buyer.
