(I actually laughed when I first learned this.)10% property management fee (With separate charges for new leases, repair management, and rent collection—what exactly does this cover?)

Are there property managers who specialize in managing housing for section 8 tenants?

Most won't insure pools with diving boards or ones without a VGBA drain.2) Include the cost of a pool company to manage the pool in the rent. 

I found the son on Facebook and sent a quick intro giving my condolences, expressed my interest in purchasing the property, and provided my phone # in case he decides to follow up.I'm in the process of preapproval with a couple lenders, and have reached out to a couple realtors in my area to see which may be a good fit.

- Property Managers that you would highly recommend? 

Do current tenants have a say in deciding if the landlord will be allowed for this conversion or no? 

Managing 17 shopping centers and selecting sites for new developments is no small feat—kudos to you!

u can see these homes on my website. also if there is any way to manage it.. if you can figure out how to get paid as a WA resident you will enjoy the same no income tax status you enjoy now.. 

Self-managing is definitely the way to go!

@Gary Abrams A cloud based solution would work really well in your scenario of having other family logging in and helping with management.
