I am leaning your way though and hope to get a raise soon! 

I fully acknowledge that people like them and I guess they're "convenient."

Definitely lean into the local market knowledge and opportunities you’ve got with your short-term rentals, too.

Im affraid if they hypethetically want to make an inprovement I dont agree with, could they potentially put a lean on my house if I dont pay in to their projects?

For move-in ready properties, turnkey companies offer convenience but often come at a premium, while working with an agent might save money if you’re hands-on.

In other words, I think that a lot of people look for shortcuts - or at the very least look for convenience.

I might lean towards the 5% conventional at this point 

So I guess i'm leaning towards keeping the first property as a rental.  

What about keeping it way it is and hiring a PM.I would either option A or option C and lean toward option C, while take tax hit etc. and others its done and do not need the mental strain

At this point in time it seems like it will be most economical and convenient if we use the same provider for cleaning and on-island agent.
