Are there providers you have worked with that you might suggest? 

Maintenance and admins fees are high.

Say you position in great locations where the experience is highly sought and highly valued with limited offerings.

Everyone has been spoiled by the last 10+ years of low property values with high rents and low interest rates.- Just ask any investor doing deals prior to 2008 Real Estate Crash!

Much of the country is at high risk between fires, hurricanes, tornados, tidal waves, earth quakes, rising tides, etc.  

Currently, interest rates, taxes, and insurance are very high, making it difficult to cashflow with downpayments that are below 40%.

I want to go the buy-and-hold route, and I am interested in finding a duplex that will provide a steady cash flow, a high appreciation value and does not need renovations.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

They also benefit from strong schools, which can be a huge draw for long-term tenants.While you may not achieve high cash flow immediately in these areas, the property values and rents tend to appreciate steadily over time, aligning well with your goals.
