Even if they are successful, I may not renew their lease.If you don't know how to manage your property well, you will lose thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands over the life of an investment.

They can hear conversations, cabinets opening and closing, and even snoring.

Personally I'd do whatever my atty told me to...It's probably a couple hundred bucks to make sure I'm meeting the req's of both the security deposit laws and the BK laws when I send them info. 

or instead of worrying about it.. simply pay the few hundred bucks and get a title commitment from your local closer/title company that will tell you where you stand for sure..

So you walk away with 25% equity/75% debt split on a property where the mortgage is being paid by a renter and there's a few hundred per month extra for your pocket.You now get to repeat the process again, it is called "rinse and repeat". 

guesty is great if you have 40+ properties and want to invest your time in their customizations. hostaway can handle hundreds before it breaks, or leaves you wanting more visibility, but at that point you can build whatever is missing on upwork

After reading the above, here are my thoughts:The flip system costs $15K one time to get in (at time of this post), and a couple hundred a month to use the proprietary CRM for managing deals.The reason I am interested in this is it is an all in one package. 

I wouldn't really worry about being too high unless it's like wow we're hundreds of dollars more.

After doing hundreds on my own,  I  have found one highly skilled worker and one laborer. 

If amount they need your approval for is not specified already in contract, send them your pictures of how you left the house (hopefully you took extensive photos before turning it over to them, like under every sink cabinet, every bathtub etc) and ask them to have the cleaning service modify the bill as it must be a mistake, then have a frank conversation about expected maintenance costs, hourly charges and amount they need to call you first before ok’ing on your behalf.
