I’m obviously getting hosed paying 8% of $3,000 / mo for the same service the land lord paying 8% of $500/mo is getting.

I've seen a few different services like it. 

This was my second foray into real estate investing, the previous one being through a “full service” turnkey provider.

Wifi runs me about $100 a month (I'm sure you can get cheaper service) but generally, don't step over dollars to save pennys.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

How have you been making payments so far, to a servicer or directly to the seller? 

There are two different servicers involved. 

Once you close on your property:- You need to get a Phila tax IDhttps://www.phila.gov/services/payments-assistance-taxes/tax...- Then you need to register for a commercial activity licensehttps://www.phila.gov/services/permits-violations-licenses/g...- Once you have a commerical activity license you can finally get your rental licensehttps://www.phila.gov/services/permits-violations-licenses/g...All of the above will be done using the eClipse online portal systemIf your property is built before 1978:The system will kick back your application and you will not be able to get a rental license until you get a Lead Safe test.This is when you will hire a licensed 3rd party to come out and doing a lead test for you.

I highly recommend you create an "Animal Addendum" which is a set of rules for any animal, whether it's a pet or service animal.

Interested in any services to apply for an appeal on property tax increases as well.
