If you have only 2-3 rental properties, I would recommend taking full control of management at once rather than transitioning one at a time.

They want to have tight control of which team is introduced to work with and do not allow sharing of info among members.

Furthermore, you should explore checkbook control versus having the custodian make all the investments.  

Accept whoever applies" is an idea that would cost you a bucket of money in the long run.Bankruptcy is usually a "no" unless it appears to be a one-time event caused by something out of their control such as a massive medical bill or a business failure. 

Yes, I would contact the pest control company and demand they pay the cost of repairing this.

Quote from @Yemisi Dinkins: As a property owner, I would never sign a Master Lease because I would give up control of the property so someone else could profit from it.

Gov. mandates, laws, regulations, these are tools to control WHAT the product/service is, think safety focused. mandating no lead in toys, or fall-arrest gear for roofers, things like that, THAT is where it works. 

All the pest control companies I've called (Central MA) said they don't open sheetrock.

In CA currently only MF properties are rent controlled.

I looked up launch control, batch leads, and a couple of others.
