After years and years of being frustrated by how tough it is to find honest, communicative contractors, I decided to start a Handyman/contracting business.This is NOT a solicitation.My question is – What are Property Managers / STR Owners / Investors looking for when they need a handyman and how are they finding them?

@Sonja RevellsThey usually communicate to the seller there are liens and their proceeds would be less because of the payoffs.

I now also offer limited service where I do the guest communications, marketing, and pricing. 

Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable, quality cleaning company with great communication?

Quote from @John Busch: Truly appreciate the multiple responses and look forward to continuing our communication as we live in Southern CA and do not have many contacts in that part of the county. 

Perfect for today’s market.Speed of Approval: He was aproved and had access to funds within two weeks, which gave him the edge to close on a high-potential property.Clear Communication: The team explained everything in plain English.

But it might be a good idea to raise rates each year or so by $50 to $100 because it can communicate that you aren't completely checked out, and you value your property, your time, your investment.

We are in Tampa so a similar market.We provide a starter set which is clearly communicated to guests (thought some people do not like it and clearly do not read which you cannot help) generally consisting of:- 2 Laundry Pods- 2 Dishwasher pods- 2 Rolls of Toilet Paper per bathroom- 2 Paper Towel Rolls- 2 Trashbags- All soaps are refillable including dish soap, hand soap, and body washes/shampoos.They are expected to get their own should they run out of anything. 

(many contractors are going to bite off more than they can chew and communication will be key). 

On the other side, the bigger companies have more experience and their numbers tend to be more accurate (not always)... as they are big companies "their costumer service" and communication is better but at the same time they "have more mouths to feed" if we need to be honest so can get a bunch of ok or good deals but I kinda doubt they will be great (just my personal candid opinion).
