I've definitely made some mistakes here but I'm going to be very candid with the info on the deal, so please go easy on me haha.My brother and I purchased a property on a large lot in Culver City CA in 2020 that was essentially a tear down. 

You are taking over for someone who didn't care at all about the rules and you want the city to just be like, "yeah, this is fine"?

Pricing and risk levels are about the same for the same type of stuff in either city.

@Al JeciusAre you in City of Flagstaff or Coconino County for zoning purposes?

I learned about the city over time and began my out-of-state investing journey. 

Quote from @Ryan Brown: Your city has noise ordinances.

Make sure to vet and look into multiple different PM's per city.

Cities and communities are also cracking down on people using homes for this.

What city?

@Kris Lou Many factors go into PMC pricing:1) Locality (city/state)2) Neighborhood & Property Class (time to manage Class A < Class B < Class C < Class D)3) Property condition (slumlord properties hard to manage)4) Number of units (some economies of scale, but not as much as owners think)5) Owner expectations (some owners really want a personal assistant!)
