I've been buried with tax preparation and a couple projects, so BP moved from the back burner to completely off the stove!

However, I am unsure on how to go about finding the proper handyman/maintenance guy/management team to help run any out-of-state investments I make.

Being able to be on site and able to commute 20-30 hours a week on the project is crucial for me 

It’s true that many property management companies are now incorporating tenant benefit packages as part of their offerings.

Try interviewing at least three managers.1.

I also have a ton of property management experience and offer tenant placement.

Most likely those would be smaller apartments, sub 50 units.It is harder to find solid property management on the smaller apartments.  

You’re a Project leader.

However, before you do so you should ensure that your revenue from rental income covers ALL your property expenses in the townhome, including mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance/repairs, vacancy, property management, etc...

You don't want to get a call 3 months into a project where you have lent money and hear the operator say that they ran out of money and need more money from you to finish the project or you will lose your investment.
