I own Granite and Pine Properties - a Direct to Seller Marketing company that focuses on giving sellers 3 selling options. https://graniteandpinere.com/My advertising is word of mouth, social media, SEO, mailers and cold callers.

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

I was a relatively happy Quest Trust Company Gold Family client for over 10 years.  

My wife and I also own the only interior design company specifically for real estate investors, Ivory Home.

With technology and the right culture property management companies can be successful with a mix of local and remote team members. 

New realtors, new realty companies, new PMs aren't going to have those established relationships and *no* PMs give up the names of their people to anyone else because getting good people is difficult. 

The LLC helps when you are trying to do things like turn on utilities. 

Utilities will be an issue.  

I have learned a lot over the last ~6 months about furnishing a property, managing/pricing a rental, understanding the ins and outs of Airbnb/Furnished Finder, and analyzing real estate investments generally.My business idea is to use that knowledge and start a company that does the following:-Furnishes properties for investors who want to turn their LTR into a MTR/STR, new homebuyers who want to house hack, or just any investor needing a rental furnished.

Another avenue would be to call your utility companies and ask about installing additional meters.
