Does wonders while retaining the structural integrity & detail.

You'll want to take a step back and look at objective information on markets and neighborhoods (characteristics, demographics, rental trends, etc).Property management does not need to be vertically integrated. 

I myself am trying to do just that, so I plan to take my own medicine on this subject.  

@Amber Gonion We look for integrity.

This is a forum primarily about real estate, and real estate investing is very much about integrity.

I am a Technology Integrator specializing in Audio/Video and Network Integration, Security Camera Systems, Networks and teleconferencing Systems.

There are places around town that rent out space for arts and crafts, but very few in which it's integrated with living space.

For every rotten apple like New Western, there are at least 2 with high integrity like Carlos, Stinson or Jon Klaus just to name a few.Put another way to the OP and all of BP nation: If you live elsewhere and want to do a DFW deal, find or make some solid BP colleagues to help you out.

Honesty and integrity are part of my moral core.

This site screams integrity and that is something that you can not find on many other big named r/e sites.
