But all I can say is "holy crap"!  

There is not a chance in holy hell a "reasonable" fee would be enough to waste the time.  

As it has turned out or at least for me, it is as though you are asking for directions to the Holy Grail.

Holy cow!

Like I said, you're entitled to your opinion and I'm not looking for a holy war but consider the possibility that there might be another way and another way that may be better than what you're doing. 

@Bill GulleyWow you didnt put down the holy hand against wholesalers this time. ;-)Of course, what business do you call that dosent let the caller  know "They are being recorded for quality and training purpose?"

I'm looking to refine how I'm managing my STR in Lake Arrowhead, and I feel like I'm looking for the holy grail - namely, a reliable, efficient team of partners I can rely on (cleaner, handyman, snow clearing, and general "can't open the door" assistance).

Holy cow!

In fact, I value cash flow behind value add and appreciation.  2) after the refinance you will be achieving infinite return which is the holly grail of returns.  3) your monthly appreciation has been ~$1.6K/month over your hold period ((($325K-39K (upgrade expenses) - $189k (purchase)) / 5 (years) / 12 (months in a year)).   

This sounds like the holy grail of all deals!
