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

Seems like a great way for rehaber to make the financials look any way they want.I can think of a few technologies that might help track income and expenses across projects that don't involve saving pieces of paper / invoices / pdfs :)  

If looking to scale flips and create systems around it to minimize your time and involvement, I'd highly recommend putting a team in place that can handle the day to day operations. 

Before listing it, I had lots of expenses, including painting, floor refinishing, plumbing repairs, staging, cleaning, etc.In a 1031 exchange, I purchased two small multifamily homes which also have some roof work, painting, plumbing, etc. 

I am not sure about what you are reflecting in the cleaning number but for me 1) it is shocking what cleaners charge but it is not where you want to try to save money for quality 2) it is a pass through, the guest pays it. $250 per turn would be for larger unit and very good job.  

Then when things go to hell they walk away and pretend they had no involvement with the Property Manager even though they facilitated countless transactions positioning themselves as the owner. 

After all if you get the deal done, you are creating more opportunity for everyone involved!

To Mike's point, it can also harm your ability to move on with a new partner who probably will not be thrilled to learn that you're still financially involved with your ex... 

Then you also have it for the cleaners as needed.Then I would schedule some time for you to head over and do a full deep clean on the carpets yearly if they don't get messed up in between.

What would you recommend to someone who wants to get involved?
